Diffraction - Artist Placements in Industry

Arts Council England, Adobe/Macromedia, Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga California and The Junction are pleased to announce an opportunity for an artist to work with Adobe's San Jose and San Francisco based research labs while in residence at Montalvo's Don and Sally Lucas Artists Program.

Adobe/Macromedia are interested in exploring the creative boundaries of their product vision for mobile technology. They wish to collaborate with an artist who has an established practice in visual, narrative, communicative or interactive/social media, and a high level of computer skill. The artist will be expected to collaborate with Adobe staff, potentially including technicians, programmers, designers and product development teams.

This placement will explore the boundaries between creative, social and technical practice and could focus on audio/visual, sensory, graphical and video presence within geographic, conceptual or social spaces. The chosen artist will be invited to question notions of performance and audience, and the part that mobile technology can play within dispersed collective social experience.
