Application deadline (extended) for both project awards: 4 pm, 31 March 2015.
Project deadlines: Funding must be fully committed by 1 June 2015 and project must be complete by 31 August 2015.
Open PROJECT
Applications are invited for an open DUETS project award. Funded by UCC’s Strategic Research Fund, the DUETS project award will fund a collaborative project that brings together UCC research/creative expertise with creative ideas and expertise from organisations or individuals who have a presence in Cork city and/or county. One award of €6,000 will be made.
George Boole: Creativity and Context
Applications are invited for a DUETS project award with a focus on the creative legacy of George Boole. The DUETS George Boole award will fund a collaborative project that brings together UCC research/creative expertise with creative ideas and expertise from organisations or individuals who have a presence in Cork city and/or county. One award of €6,000 will be made.
This call builds on theme of the most recent DUETS workshop ('Creativity and Context', Firkin Crane, November 2015). What are the contexts from which creative ideas emerge? What are the relationships between creative work and its contexts of production and consumption? The computing capabilities now made possible by George Boole's work on symbolic logic enable cultural work to be situated in new ways and the workshop will explore these possibilities. Content and context can be related as creative works become part of the fabric of everyday life through increasingly pervasive media and computing technologies and newly emergent immersive arts techniques.
Application deadline for both project awards: 4 pm, 31 March 2015.
