Today i applied for an internship.....

Information 


The AND Festival is offering an exciting opportunity to work with artist Mark Amerika, pioneer of internet art and creator of the world's first feature-length mobile phone filmImmobilite. Amerika's work experiments with transmedia narrative, live VJ performance, mobile media applications, and Web-based forms of interactive art. ImmobilitĂ© interfaces low-tech methods of video making with more sophisticated forms of European art-house movies and asks the question, "What is the future of cinema?"

The AND festival is commissioning Mark Amerika to make a new project and he will be in the UK in May to begin shooting. We are looking for an enthusiastic, creative and responsible individual to support the artist in his shoot across the Northwest region and document this unique film making process.
 
You will need to;

-be available between 16 - 23 May (not necessarily all days)

-have experience in film making or photography

-own transport would be an advantage (as some locations will be difficult to reach via public transport)

-a passion and knowledge of new media art and emergent artists' practice would be preferable, but not essential

Travel and expenses will be covered by the festival.To apply send an e-mail with short text detailing your interest in the project (max 300 words) and your C.V. to 
Ruth McCullough, 
AND Festival Producer

Although my aim is not necessarily to create work specifically for mobile phones or even to create movies i feel that this would be a unique opportunity to work with an artist who is exploring how technology impacts on the art work and how this technology can be used within the realms of an art gallery context- although the actual internship takes place the week we are getting the studio ready for exhibition and hand in i feel that that this is too goo an opportunity to miss.
