What are the New Visions Commissions?

The New Visions Commissions program is an Experimenta initiative that provides emerging artists with a unique opportunity to develop interactive media art works in collaboration with industry.
It is free to submit a proposal, and all entrants must be Australian citizens.

Experimenta encourages digital / new media artists, film / video makers and animators to use the commissions to explore the potential for interactivity in their practice.

Submissions for the 2004 New Visions Commissions program close 12 July 2004.

Do you believe all that you see, read and hear?

Proposals must respond to the thematic of Experimenta's 2005 exhibition program: Illusions.

What are the illusions that exist in our world today? How do they affect our lives? What do they reveal about our current existence? What illusionary experiences can be created through media art works?

Applicants for the 2004 New Visions Commissions are encouraged to explore the potential of illusion in all its forms - optical, sensory, aural - in order to create magic, wonder and mystery, and to uncover issues of political and social relevance.

Selected artworks will animate untold stories, offer an alternative to our everyday lives, and allow us to uncover the invisible, psychological and emotional reality that exists beyond the surface.

What type of proposals have been selected in previous years?

In 2003 Experimenta commissioned the following projects which were also included in the House of Tomorrow program.

Virsual - The Digital Rocking Horse
Expecting
Orbiculum
Gopher 3000
City Airs and Graces
Bio-See
X-Ball

I'm interested. How do I submit a proposal?

To apply you need to complete an application form, and submit it to Experimenta by 5.00pm, 12 July 2004.
