Open call for Madlab and Makerversity Art/Tech PilotMadlab and Makerversity have both launched open calls for participants in Arts Council England/Innovate UK’s pilot art and technology innovation programme. This £1m pilot programme will support practitioners working at the intersection of arts and technology. Responding to rapid developments in technology and accompanying shifts in ways of working, the £1m programme focuses support on groups of creative people who are exploring the place and impact of technology in our lives. It will explore how best to support new talent and ideas emerging across a range of fields from making to bio-tech, data and interaction, and looks at how this practice can best be sustained; in particular how the different values it generates – artistic, social and commercial – can be capitalised on. Delivered through three organisations – Manchester Digital Laboratory (Madlab), Broadway in Nottingham, and Makerversity in London – participants in the pilot programme will be provided with the space, the tools, networks and the advice necessary to develop new practices, ideas, products and services.
