[artinfo] Call for public wireless new media project proposals

[Melinda Rackham]

Applications close Friday 26th May 2006

The Australian Network for Art & Technology (ANAT) has been commissioned by
the Adelaide City Council to investigate creative ways to make use of
wireless technology in public spaces. An opportunity exists to develop a
project with an emphasis on interactive and engaging uses of wireless
technology.

ANAT is now seeking brief project proposals from artists of all disciplines
as individuals or collaborations. ANAT is particularly interested in
projects that provide opportunities for direct interaction with the
audience, and encourage exploration and discovery of public space.

Submissions will be assessed competitively with three short listed proposals
to be awarded a fee of $200 each. In consultation with the artist(s), one
proposal will form the basis of an application to fund the development and
presentation of a project. Unsuccessful proposals will be returned to the
artist(s).

Please email tamara at anat.org.au to receive an Artist¹s Brief with more
details. Proposals must be submitted by Friday 26th May.
