Bath Spa University will support the creation of the new artwork with two short funded residencies and the opportunity to display the work for the month of July 2015.
Proposals need to be related in some way to text-based narrative – they can be software/ data-driven, interactive, live, internet/ mobile linked. They should also reflect one or more of the themes of MIX DIGITAL 3, which are: creative writing and digital technology, digital fiction and poetry, digital art, interactive scriptwriting and theatre, transmedia practice, transnational activity the emergent field of ambient literature.
The artwork needs to be designed display at very high resolution and in daylight. The artist will also need to be able to realise their idea technically (with appropriate advice and support from the MIX DIGITAL team).
Details of how to apply, along with a full list of requirements, technical specifications, eligibility criteria and budgets are available on the MIX DIGITAL 3 site.
