[Synapse elist] Opportunity

[Vicki Sowry]

Hi all

I don't normally post third-party information on-list, but this is so far up
our current alley I'd be remiss not to!

Call for projects : The Geographical Web or Geoweb
Where: Agence TOPO, Montréal, Canada
Deadline: 15 August 2008

The use of geolocalization systems, such as GPS, is spreading and
increasingly present in the digital world. Artists are appropriating these
technologies to create travelogues, to reflect on urban space, and to
conceive collective psychogeography and locational media projects.

Artists interested in this theme, and by the production context offered by
Agence TOPO are encouraged to submit their proposals.

Projects currently under development and those demonstrating a strong
commitment from the artists will be given priority. The selected artists and
projects will benefit from technical support for a period of 4 to 8 weeks
within a residency program that can be spread out over time depending on the
artists¹ needs and specific project requirements.

Projects are to take place during 2009.
