Location One presents its second Virtual Residency Project in the form of a call to artists and other creative individuals with the purpose of fostering collaboration and creativity across geographical expanses and areas of expertise. The goal of this residency is to find two participants who are not physically proximate but who are willing to work with someone they’ve most likely never met before using some form of non-F2F (face to face) interface such as webcams, email, chat, video, blogs, telerobotic prostheses, Second Life, MIDI, skype, social networks, walkie-talkie, snail mail, mental telepathy, radio, networked video gaming, POTS (plain old telephone service), tin cans on string, or any other means of collaboration to develop a project. The final collaboration will be presented at Location One in New York.
The first Virtual Residency Project featured three artists from three
different countries: Andy Deck (New York, USA), Susanne Berkenheger (Berlin, Germany), and Hidenori Watanave (Tokyo, Japan). They communicated via blog and email and collaborated on an exhibition at Location One in the Fall of 2008. Titled “Mission Accomplished”, it featured works by each of the artists that can be seen here on our website.
The first Virtual Residency Project was an experiment in virtual collaboration that was meant to work out the kinks so that the second would run more smoothly. We have not.
