Watershed in collaboration with Sound and Music are currently accepting applications for the Embedded Artists Residency. The residency is open to artists from all disciplinary backgrounds to develop a new sonic art work. The successful applicant will explore the relationship between touch technologies and sound, as well as developing and presenting a new project.

During the residency (starting in September) the successful applicant will be based at Watershed's Pervasive Media Studio. The Pervasive Media Studio is Watershed's multi-disciplinary lab, a curated space in which varied people and projects explore and produce pervasive media content, applications and services. It has gathered a brilliant community of artists, creative companies, technologists and academics working on projects which are sometimes commercial, often cultural. The open-plan workspace allows and encourages ideas to be shared and developed collaboratively.

To find out more about touch technologies, you can attend the Pervasive Media Studio's free Lunchtime Talk, It's a Touch Thing on Fri 24 June at 13:00hrs. Technologist Tim Kindberg will also be available after the presentation to discuss ideas with potential applicants at the Studio.

How to Apply: Embedded is open to artists at an early stage in the career who are resident in the UK or British nationals living abroad. Find out more about the residency and the application requirements on the Studio website.

Embedded is Sound and Music's new artist development programme. Supported by the Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, Embedded offers residencies for talented artists with a range of leading national creative organisations, encouraging serious engagement with their activity and providing significant scope for artistic exploration. The opportunities are open to artists from a range of disciplines, as long as music or sound is integral to their work: composers, film-makers, moving image artists, sound artists, digital artists and installation artists.
