Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center: Call for Applications

The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center Now Accepting Applications for its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its Artists in Residence Programs

Troy, NY - The Experimental Media and Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) is dedicated to advancing research and artistic production at the intersection of technology, media and the time-based arts (media arts, video, music, dance, theater, etc.).

To that end, EMPAC is pleased to announce that it is accepting applications for both its Scholars and Researchers in Residence and its Artists in Residence programs. There are no deadlines for applications, which will be accepted and reviewed throughout the year.

Visiting scholars and researchers in residence are encouraged to apply for longer stays or affiliations that span over several residency periods. Prospective visitors may apply for limited travel and accommodation support, but also should expect to come with their own research funds. This program is an ideal match for scholars on sabbatical and for researchers with specific requirements that EMPAC can match. Residencies may also be granted to teams working on a joint project or developing new approaches, especially if they involve Rensselaer faculty and students.

How to Apply
EMPAC programs, commissions and residencies are developed internally by the
curators in collaboration with the director. There is no formal application process for
applying for a residency, and applications may be sent in at any time. Commissions are
by solicitation only.
The selection process includes a first screening with possible subsequent meetings,
interviews, reviews, feasibility studies and planning of all aspects of the project
including content, technology, budget, time-line and overall resources.

If you are interested in submitting a residency proposal, please send us a packet with
appropriate materials to introduce your work and concept. A proposal could include
the following information:

• A letter of intent, which includes contact information
• Project or residency description and supporting material that might help describe
  the project more fully (visuals, sketches, diagrams, scores, algorithms, etc.)
• Supporting materials: including a CV and work samples, press kit, DVD, CD, urls, or
  quicktimes of past work
• Information on upcoming performances or shows
• A self-addressed stamped envelope if you would like your materials returned
