The Netherlands Media Art Institute in Amsterdam and the V2_ Institute for the Unstable Media in Rotterdam have joined forces to introduce their media art dissemination and distribution services.
V2_ launches a new agency for the distribution of media artworks, expanding the institution’s role as a platform for media art research, production, presentation and archiving. NIMk Distribution expands its existing collection of video works and media art installations with a broad selection of computer-based works.
In occasion of the expansion of their activities, NIMk and V2_ collaborated on the production of a shared catalogue of represented artworks, and curated a small showcase of works from this joint catalogue for the Transmediale.11 festival (Berlin, February 1 – 6, 2011). The showcase aims to introduce the two distribution services and present selected art works to the Dutch and international audience of media art professionals, curators and programme makers present at transmediale.11.
We would like to personally invite you to a special drinks reception to celebrate the launch of this initiative on Friday, February 4, 4 – 5 PM, at the Cafe Global Stage, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin.
The reception will feature a performance by artist Constant Dullaart (NL)
Please RSVP to (NIMk): info@nimk.nl or (V2_): agency@v2.nl
We look forward to see you there.
With kind regards,
Joke Ballintijn and Sandra Fauconnier, NIMk Distribution

Triple Canopy: 2011 commissions program
Triple Canopy: 2011 commissions program
Triple Canopy is pleased to announce its second annual call for proposals. We will be commissioning projects spanning the six areas outlined below—original research, new-media journalism, public programming, Internet-specific artwork and literature, and critical dialogues—to be published in the magazine and presented before live audiences between July 1, 2011, and June 30, 2012. Proposals are due by February 14, 2011. Read more
Project areas
Triple Canopy staff will work closely and collaboratively with contributors as they develop their projects, a process that usually takes between three and six months. Recipients of commissions will be offered a modest honorarium of up to 500 USD, depending on the scope of the project and the cost of its development, in addition to between twenty and thirty hours of work by editors, designers, and developers.
Research Work
Research Work was established to facilitate the creation of research projects that are produced outside academia, for a general audience; employ Internet-specific methods of presentation; and serve a public best reached by making the work available for free online.
Immaterial Literature
Immaterial Literature was established to facilitate the production of creative writing—fiction, poetry, prose—that engages other media (and artists), considers the particular formal qualities of the Web as a medium, and speaks to a diverse and widespread readership.
Internet as Material
Internet as Material was established to support emerging and midcareer artists who have never before made work specifically for the Web in the production of an online project. These projects further Triple Canopy's mission by utilizing the Internet—which is too often understood as a channel for the transfer of information—as a medium for the development of artworks that actively engage readers and viewers.
Thinking Through Images
Thinking Through Images was established to foster conversations about images and videos of cultural, political, and social relevance, between artists, writers, researchers, and other engaged cultural practitioners working in different fields. The program aims to facilitate close readings of popular media and fine art—from nineteenth-century paintings to Internet memes to documentation of current events—that consider these cultural products in a common context.
New Media Reporting
New Media Reporting was established to provide journalists an outlet for—and provide them with the technical resources and expertise to realize—in-depth, critical reports executed in multiple media, with the goal of providing an immersive experience of stories and subjects.
New Programming
New Programming was established to support the development of exhibitions, panel discussions, performances, film screenings, and other public events that examine the intersection of culture, politics, and technology. It serves the general public by offering unique, low-cost educational experiences at community-based nonprofit spaces in the United States and elsewhere.

Past commissions recipients
Triple Canopy is an online magazine, workspace, and platform for editorial and curatorial activities. Working collaboratively with writers, artists, and researchers, Triple Canopy facilitates projects that engage the Internet's specific characteristics as a public forum and as a medium, one with its own evolving practices of reading and viewing, economies of attention, and modes of interaction. In doing so, Triple Canopy is charting an expanded field of publication, drawing on the history of print culture while acting as a hub for the exploration of emerging forms and the public spaces constituted around them. Triple Canopy is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization.

TrAIN Residency at Gasworks
Residency Dates: 5th April 2011 - 2nd July 2011
Deadline for application: 24th January 2011
The successful applicant will be notified by the end of January-first
week of February 2011.
The residency comprises:
- accommodation and basic living expenses in London
- materials/production budget
- a studio at Gasworks
- an artist's talk and Open Studio, or similar
public presentations, at Gasworks
- administrative, pastoral and curatorial support from Gasworks.
The support, networks and creative environments that Gasworks can offer
will provide the artist with the means to research and experiment with
new work.
This residency is open to emerging and mid-career artists.
The selected artist should be able to engage discursively and
speculatively with Gasworks' environments and London's wider artistic
and cultural context.
TrAIN
TrAIN (transnational art, identity and nation) is a Research Centre
based at Chelsea College of Art & Design, University of the Arts London.
TrAIN has collaborated annually with Gasworks since 2007 with the aim of
developing a research-based residency programme extending between the
studio and the art school.
Artists’ Brief, 2011
The residency focuses on the archives and special collections held at
Chelsea College of Art & Design Library. We are inviting an
international artist to: either : use these collections as one point of
departure for the development of new work; or : to create and deposit
their own ‘resident archive’ for future researchers at Chelsea College
of Art & Design Library (for examples, a collection of ephemera, a
project to be realised in the future, a set of clues for future
researchers or curators...).
The route into the Special Collections is not prescribed; its size and
complexity allows for diverse and unpredictable responses. Exposing the
processes and ideas of modern and contemporary artists, it invites
contemporary re-readings, re-activations and replies. The artist is not
required to have particular expertise or experience in working with
archives. The residency is process-led and open-ended. It is focused on
the development of a project rather than a finished product. All
Gasworks residencies culminate in an Open Studio exhibition. The TrAIN
Residency is open to emerging and mid-career artists from any country
outside of the UK.
For more information on the Chelsea Collection, please click here.
