Open call for the production of a project based on electronic and digital media with both installational and virtual dimensions. LABoral Centro de Arte y Creacion Industrial is a multidisciplinary space founded to foster artistic exchange and encourage interrelationships between society, art, science, technology and creative industries. It is furthermore, a centre for artistic and technical research, education and production, as well as for the projection of new forms of art and industrial creation.
DIGITAL_LAB is part of the wider Projects Office programme, open to agents in the culture industry on an open ongoing basis. It produces and exhibits at LABoral a selection of the projects it receives. It was created with a mission to facilitate the production of art projects and their introduction into professional circuits.
DIGITAL_LAB is an open call for the production of a project which combines an installational dimension (to be exhibited in Plataforma 1 at LABoral) and a virtual dimension with a link on LABoral's web.
The theme, support and technological media used in the project for DIGITAL_LAB are unrestricted. The entries will be assessed on the basis of their exploration of the challenges faced by communication society; the digital gap and new forms of discrimination created by the introduction of new information and communication technologies; the new communities between the physical and virtual world; the management and use of digital participation tools.
The chosen project will go be exhibited in Plataforma 1 and on the LABoral website from September 25th 2009 until January 11th 2010. The chosen project will be curated by Roberta Bosco, art critic and curator of new technology projects.
