Research and Production Residencies Program
OBORO welcomes research and production residency projects in the fields of visual arts, media arts and interdisciplinary practices. this program is intended for artists, researchers and curators from all disciplines and backgrounds wishing to reflect and focus on research and production activities involving, in one form or another, media arts and new technologies. Projects may include forays into the fields of video, audio, image, sound, multimedia, web, Internet, or interactive and network technologies.
There is no pre-determined duration for research or production residencies. Yet projects generally vary from a few days to a few weeks in length and may concern one or several aspects of a work.
Individuals and organizations interested in taking advantage of this program must send a proposal including the Submission Form, an artistic and technological description of the project accompanied with all other required support material listed on the Call for Proposal information page. Proposals must be precise regarding technical and human resources (hence the importance of confirming the feasibility of the project with regards to our expertise and the availability of our resources).
