About<\/span><\/h3>\r\nEach morning, Charles walks his dog, Lulu, and listens to an audio book. On one such morning, the book was Modern Occultism<\/em>, read aloud by its author. For each page, Mitch Goldstein narrated the body of the text as well as the inline footnotes. Charles was struck that Goldstein didn\u2019t relegate the footnotes to the end as a secondary text, but rather continued for the twenty-odd hours with this back and forth: body, footnote, body, footnote. The reference<\/em> was treated with the same importance as the authored text.\r\n\r\nMindy considered a similar inversion. In 2020, with Laura Coombs, they led a publishing workshop on the asterisk<\/a> that asked participants to punctuate primary sources with annotations of text, audio, and image. This co-authored publication suggested that revealing citations was as important as the body text. In their opening lecture, they introduced some references: Ursula K. Le Guin\u2019s baskets<\/a>, Octavia Butler\u2019s \u00bbprimitive hypertext<\/a>,\u00ab and Ryan Gander\u2019s loose associations<\/a>. This might be part of their \u00bblearning trail.\u00ab\r\n\r\nLater, at a Web3 conference held in the San Jacinto Mountains of California, Charles gave a lecture called \u00bbHere for the Wrong Reasons<\/a>.\u00ab He prompted the audience to identify where one\u2019s gaze is focused, but also understand why it\u2019s focused there. It was an exercise in recognizing the learning trail. An environmental analogy that Charles and Mindy often mention is that of desire lines<\/em><\/a>, or paths that pedestrians take informally, rather than taking a sidewalk; a desire line is a well-worn ribbon that one sees cutting across a patch of grass, or well-trod paths in the snow. We might take \u00bbfootnotes\u00ab literally then \u2013 the \u00bbfoot\u00ab creates \u00bbnotes\u00ab that make the path. More feet make the path more defined. Our learning trail for citational principles might include Luiza Dale\u2019s disruptive footnote<\/a>, Legacy Russell\u2019s theory \u00bbon footnotes<\/a>,\u00ab Leslie Dick\u2019s free associations<\/a>, Damon Zucconi\u2019s \u00bbthing-shaped holes<\/a>,\u00ab among many others.\r\n\r\n\u00bbTools\u00ab have a connotation of usefulness and productivity, but a tool could also be a breaking point, a sieve, an index, a call to action, a publication, a web experiment, or an open-ended platform.\r\n\r\n\u00bbCitations\u00ab often appear in academic and longform texts, but a citation can also be a tableau, a learning trail, a history, a library, and a focus on the \u00bbwe.\u00ab\r\n\r\nWe\u2019d love to see your tools for citation.\r\n\r\nYour proposals will be reviewed by Charles and Mindy, and the Digital Solitude team. Charles Broskoski is one of the many co-founders of Are.na, a platform for connecting ideas and building knowledge. Mindy Seu is a UCLA Professor who makes work about technology-driven performance and publication. Both are very interested in expansive citational practices.\r\n\r\n(If helpful, all links can be found here<\/a>).\r\n

The Format<\/span><\/h3>\r\nThis open call encourages proposals of artistic projects that explore the practice of citation from a conceptual and theoretical frame.\r\n\r\nSelected projects should be carried out in open-source formats that are well-documented, shareable, and consider the accessibility of its users, who may range in age, race, gender, economic class, and ability.\r\n

Grant<\/span><\/h3>\r\nSix project proposals will be selected and rewarded with an online residency and a grant of 1.200 euros.\r\n

Timeline<\/span><\/h3>\r\nCall release: mid November 2024\r\nDeadline for applications: December 15, 2024 (midnight IDLW\/ UTC\u221212:00)\r\nAnnouncement of the jury\u2019s decision (via mail): end January 2025\r\nDuration of Web Residencies: February 11, 2025 \u2013 March 11, 2025\r\nLaunch Web Residency projects: late April 2025\r\n

Web Residencies<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIn 2016, Akademie Schloss Solitude launched Web Residencies to promote young talents from the international digital scene and artists from all disciplines dealing with web-based practices. For each call, Digital Solitude, together with the curator or cooperation partners, selects four project proposals whose creators receive an online residency and a grant.\r\n\r\nArtists, collectives, associations, and initiatives of all kinds are invited to experiment with digital technologies and new art forms and reflect on the topics set by the curators or collectives. Web Residencies are carried out online, and the works are presented online.\r\n\r\nArtists of all disciplines as well as former Solitude fellows may apply. There is no age limit.\r\n

FAQ<\/span><\/h3>\r\nIs it possible to apply with more than one project?<\/em>\r\nNo. We accept only one submission per applicant (individual artist or collectives).\r\n\r\nIs it possible to apply with an already existing project?<\/em>\r\nYes, if the project is not finished, is process-oriented, and allows for embedding in Digital Solitude\u2019s online environment.\r\n\r\nHow many projects will be selected?<\/em>\r\nFor this year\u2019s call, six project proposals will be selected and rewarded with an online residency.\r\n
