Artist In Residence Program Proposal Guidelines Cycle VIII: 2008 DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS, CYCLE VIII  15 March, 2008 for residencies between April and December 2008   1.  For artists with little or no practical experience: Artists wishing to explore holography for their first time are invited to submit proposal ideas. All selected awardees will be carefully assisted wherever needed through this exploration. Residencies are for 5 studio shooting days, artists can work over a longer period if their project requires onsite preparation. A brief introduction to holography will be followed by production of the master hologram and a transfer into a holographic artwork. (film valued up to $250.) More Details 2.  For experienced Holographic Artists: We suggest that one carefully designed artwork is preferable over an expectation of numerous artworks. This work may be accomplished as a part of a larger installation or self-supporting concept. Residencies are for 5 studio shooting days, which can be spread over more than one week for preparation or development purposes. The project can be entirely the creation of pulsed masters or a pulsed master with transfer (film valued up to $250.) Floorplan and system specifications
