SUMMARY:[DEADLINE EXTENDED] Call for Proposals: Robot in Residence
DESCRIPTION:The Goethe-Institut is partnering with Milieux\, Hexagram and Eastern Bloc to offer an 8-week residency to work closely with a NAO robot!\nAs part of the ongoing project Robots in Residence the Goethe-Institut Montreal will be hosting a NAO-Robot during six months from February to July. During this time\, the Goethe-Institut offers one residence for artists to work closely with the NAO during a period of 8 consecutive weeks. \nNAO 6 is now the sixth generation of the interactive humanoid robot NAO\, developed by the Japanese French company SoftBank Robotics. It is in use worldwide and serves primarily as a research object for educational institutions. Its 25 degrees of movement make communication with NAO seem particularly natural. The robot has various sensors as well as modules for speech\, object and face recognition and speaks several languages. Since 2020 two of these NAO robots have traveled to various Goethe-Instituts\, mainly in Europe. On-site\, the robots were supervised and further programmed by coders and artists\, taking local issues and circumstances into account. \nRobots in Residence aims to examine and illustrate the relationship between humans and machines with a focus on communication in a variety of cultural contexts. During each residency the robots learn new skills and carry their newly acquired knowledge and skills further afield\, picking up more and more aspects that\, taken together\, can capture and spark a multifaceted debate on artificial intelligence. \nCALL FOR PROPOSALS\nInterdisciplinary students\, researchers\, artists and teams are invited to submit proposals for research-creation projects that broaden the skillset of the NAO\, take local contexts into account\, and inspire a multifaceted debate on artificial intelligence. \nSelected applicants will have 8 weeks to work closely with the NAO robot – from May 1st to June 30th\, 2023 – and will receive between 4\,000 and 6\,000 CAD (depending on network affiliation) in funding to produce an interactive artistic program that broadens the NAOs skillset but also inspires social\, technical-philosophical questions and bring to life visions for future humanmachine interactions \nAll applicants must be members of Milieux and/or Hexagram. \nLocal teams will be able to work with the robots independently\, in their research institution\, at the facilities provided by Milieux Institute\, Hexagram\, Eastern Bloc or at the Goethe-Institut. As part of a research-creation project\, participants will develop an interactive and artistic program/project presentation for and with the NAO that illustrates their questions and/or reasonings about human-machine interactions. \nDeadline extended to submit proposals to March 31st\, 2023.\n→ NAO_Call for proposals Robot in Residence_EN \n→ NAO_Call for proposals Robot in Residence_FR \n

SUMMARY:Embodied Interventions 2023: Call for Participants
DESCRIPTION:“Embodied Interventions” is a student-led platform for interdisciplinary experimentation\, collaboration\, and the sharing of performance-based works. Over two weeks\, Embodied Interventions facilitates a laboratory-type residency incorporating creation time\, shared practice\, workshops\, movement practices\, artistic advising\, production time and performance prep\, culminating in a public showcase. \nSTRUCTURE\nWhether you wish to develop new work with others\, bring forward work to showcase\, or share your performance-based research in the form of a talk or other formats\, EI is an opportunity to participate in a collective platform culminating in a weekend of public performances across an array of spaces: LePARC’s commons\, residency room\, video production studio\, Concordia’s Fine Arts Black Box and other public spaces.​ \nIdeation\nDuring this introductory week\, ideas and bodies converge. Through conversation and improvisation the silhouettes of chimeric creations begin to emerge. From Monday to Friday\, participants will be invited to begin with a movement-based activity each morning followed by a working period in groups in the afternoon and a facilitated feedback session in the evening. Throughout week one and two a resident artistic advisor will regularly circulate the working spaces facilitating conversation and providing feedback where needed. By the closing of this week the site\, scale\, duration\, artists involved\, and technical needs for the work will be finalized proving the skeleton for the week to come. \nProduction\nThis is the week that projects will be concretized. Site-specific works may begin to develop in situ\, performance scripts embodied\, sounds\, movements\, and images will be composed. Participants are invited to participate in a series of workshops facilitated by new media and performance-based artists Emilie Morin and Ryan Clayton as part of their exhibition Le spectre anime nos os/ The spectre animates our bones at the FOFA Gallery which focus on combining digital and physical worlds through movement. \nPresentation\nOver the weekend the works developed over the prior two weeks will be shared in a public showcase. This is an occasion to see each other’s projects in their fullest form\, exchange ideas with the public and document the creations. \nAPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS  \nWe are proposing two roles within Embodied Interventions: \n\n\ncollaborator: put your approach in dialogue with others to explore and create new work together. Collaborating participants will be matched in groups based on interest for the ideation and production laboratories. \n\n\nshowcaser: bring a performance\, talk or other presentation that is already developed. Showcasing participants will join the production week to finalize their work\, and for the public presentations. \n\n\nFILLING THE FORM BELOW is the first step to participating in this incredible whirlwind of a creative residency and public presentations! Please do so by MARCH 15\, 2023. \nMORE INFORMATION\nAPPLY NOW
