Expanded Practice Residency

Expanded Practice is a three-week intensive artist residency, offered to Extended Access members of DARC who are seeking to develop their current practice, experiment with a new medium, or continue an existing project. Artists in residence are provided with access to DARC’s facilities, including the DARC Microcinema, Soundstage, Digital Edit Suite, and Recording Studio, a fee for an optional artist talk or presentation of their work, and access to an array of audio-visual equipment for the duration of their residency. Artists are invited to find creative ways to experiment with video and the moving image, the distribution of sound, and other tactics for presentation and audience engagement. The Expanded Practice residency seeks to create a collaborative environment where hands-on technological play is encouraged. We welcome proposals for screen-based work, including film, video, and animation, web-based projects, sound art, interactive and time-based digital projects, and media art installations. In order to sustain an open, tangential structure for artistic experimentation, there is no final public exhibition attached to artist’s participation in the Expanded Practice residency. Artists are invited to participate in an optional post-residency artist talk if they would like to share the progress of their work or discuss their practice.
