The Canada Council for the Arts (CCA) and the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) New Media Initiative is intended to promote collaboration linking artist, scientist and/or engineers to combine creativity with the development and application of new technology and knowledge.
The New Media Initiative will be implemented within the context of existing NSERC and Canada Council programs. At NSERC, applications from scientists and/or engineers will be accepted through the Research Partnerships Program (RPP). At the Canada Council, applications from the artists will be accepted for New Media Research, Production or Residencies within the Grants to New Media and Audio Artists Program.
The New Media Initiative:
- is based on partnerships between artists and scientists/engineers
- provides core support for research and implementation of integrated activities that reflect the New Media Initiative objectives, and
- is centered on themes/areas of mutual importance to the research partners.
The CCA funds the artistic component of successful projects and NSERC funds the scientific and/or engineering research component.
This program is accessible to Aboriginal artists and artists of diverse cultural and regional communities of Canada.
New media art that develops and applies new digital technologies increasingly includes science and engineering-based methodologies, while scientific research is increasingly making use of art-based practices.
