numediart is a long-term research programme centered on Digital Media Arts, funded by Région Wallonne, Belgium (grant N◦716631). Its main goal is to foster the development of new media technologies through digital performances and installations, in connection with local companies and artists.

It is organized around three major R&D themes (HyFORGE - hypermedia navigation, COMEDIA - body and media, COPI - digital luthery) and is performed as a series of short (3-months) projects, typically 3 or 4 of them in parallel, dur- ing which a 1-week “hands on” workshop is held. numediart is the result of collaboration between Poly- tech.Mons (Information Technology R&D Pole) and UCL (TELE Lab), with a center of gravity in Mons, the cultural capital of Wallonia. It also benefits from the expertise of the Multitel research center on multimedia and telecom- munications. As such, it is the R&D component of Mons 2015, a broader effort towards making Mons the cultural capital of Europe in 2015.

The numediart board now calls for participation to three short projects, to be held (remotely) from October, 1st to December, 30th 2010.

If you want to contribute, please send an email to contact@numediart.org mentioning which project you want to join, and what kind of expertise you could bring, before October, 1st. 

The number of participants is limited to 8 people per project. Participation to the workshop is mandatory. No funding is provided, but no fee is asked for either.
