THE DANIEL LANGLOIS FOUNDATION LAUNCHES A PROGRAM OF GRANTS FOR RESEARCHERS
IN RESIDENCE


Montreal, April 23, 2001

The Daniel Langlois Foundation for Art, Science and Technology is launching
a program of grants for researchers in residence. With this new program,
the Foundation hopes to foster critical thinking about how technologies
affect people and their natural and cultural environments. Following an
international competition open to historians, curators, critics,
independent researchers, artists and scientists in various fields including
computer science and related areas of social science, the Foundation will
enable two researchers to work in the collections and archives of the
Centre for Research and Documentation (CR+D). Each year, the Foundation
will announce the research topics that researchers’ proposals must address.
For 2001-2002, the topics are: Technological, artistic and aesthetic
history of computer animation, and Conceptual, scientific and artistic
issues involved in preserving digital artworks or works with digital
components. Twice a year, the CR+D will welcome a researcher for three to
six months. The researchers will be given access to computer and
audiovisual equipment, the Foundation's database, and its entire collection
of documentation. The researchers in residence will be required to publish
their research findings on the Foundation's Web site. For more details on
this new initiative, consult the program of grants for researchers in
residence in the Funding Programs section of the Foundation's Web site:
http://www.fondation-langlois.org/e/programmes/menu.html. If you don't have
Internet access, please contact us directly and we'll mail you the
information you need. The deadline for applying is August 31, 2001. For
questions about how to submit a project to the Foundation, contact the
program officer Angela Plohman at aplohman@fondation-langlois.org.
