.
The Artist in Residence (AiR) programme at the Netherlands Media Art 
Institute supports the exploration and development of new work in 
digital/interactive/network media and technology based arts practice. 
The residency provides time and resources to artists in a supportive 
environment to facilitate the creation of new work that is produced from 
an open source perspective. We encourage a cross disciplinary and 
experimental approach. This is a practice based residency designed to 
enable the development and completion of a new work.

The ideal candidate will have a broad understanding of contemporary art 
and theory, as well as media history and visual culture and should have 
knowledge of requested software, as well as understanding of programming.
The artist's intention should be to make a new artwork, to be shown in 
exhibitions and to be distributed by the Netherlands Media Art Institute 
and others. (We do not demand exclusivity for presentation or distribution.)

For the AiR program 2010 we manly focus on technology and mobility that 
can change habits and inhabitation of public spaces. Our goal is to 
explore mobile and portable platforms as innovative creation and 
distribution systems. Proposals for users participation and interaction 
by modified excistend devices as phones, iPod, GPS and others are welcome.

If your ideas for a new artwork does not fit into the mentioned demands 
you still can apply: we are always interested in brilliant ideas.

Research
The Artlab is the department within the Netherlands Media Art Institute 
that is responsible for research. Artlab supports research by artists 
into the use of new media within the visual arts. Here artists can 
experiment, make contact with one another, cooperate and create new work.
Through the Artist in Residence program artists are invited to submit 
project proposals of innovative use of new technologies. Artists in 
Residence program is a structural part of the Institute.
In addition there is occasional research done into tools that can be of 
service in the process of presentation, production, post-production and 
distribution of streaming media. Moreover, since 1990 the possibilities 
for conserving video art and multimedia installations have been 
investigated. For the latter the Institute takes part in various Dutch 
and international collaborations.
As a research center, the Netherlands Media Art Institute focuses first 
on professional specialists, but students can also approach it with 
problems they may encounter. With the aid of the open source and open 
content principle, as much knowledge and expertise as possible is made 
available by the internet.
