The Australian Centre of Virtual Art (ACVA) is pleased to announce the launch of ACVA Lab 2010.
ACVA Lab is a forward thinking initiative to promote the pioneering work of Australian artists and technologists using virtual world platforms. ACVA Lab advances the development of artistic networks, prototypes and exchange with its central question: "What could a virtual art lab be if it was imagined by artists for artists?"
ACVA Lab is supported by the Australian Council for the Arts and will run a three-day intensive workshop in Melbourne in February 2010. Speakers and facilitators include:
Adam Nash (internationally recognised as one of the most influential artists working in virtual environments)
Christopher Dodds (artist, designer and director of leading digital marketing firm Icon.Inc)
Greg More (artist, designer and director of digital environment consultancy firm OOM Creative)
Dr Melinda Rackham (artist, critic, curator and digital producer, director of ANAT 2005-09, Adjunct Professor at RMIT University)
Kate Richards (new media artist, producer and lecturer in the Master's of Convergent Media at University of Western Sydney)
Dr Justin Clemens (writer, art-critic, publisher, and lecturer at Melbourne University)
Fee Plumley (Digital Program Officer at the Australia Council for the Arts)
Plus presentations from leading media artists.
ACVA is looking for up to 10 Australian artists working in virtual art, hybrid art, net art, augmented reality, and realtime audio-visual 3D environments to attend the workshop. The Lab is part of an ongoing project that continues through 2010 with a secondary series of online workshops to be mentored, hosted and promoted by ACVA.
