Find collaborators

The Second Life Artist Residency offers Australian artists and writers the opportunity to creatively and critically explore new interactive, virtual platforms. It allows for a collaborative team of up to three people (including a writer, musician/sound artist and digital visual media practitioner) to develop inter-disciplinary artwork in this metaverse. The Australia Council for the Arts will only accept applications from teams who fulfil all the residency requirements, including having the necessary artform experience.

If you are looking for collaborators for your proposal, or would like to offer your services, please leave (as a short one paragraph comment below) your avatar name/e-mail address and a description of your skills and who you are looking for.

Your comment will be displayed in-world on billboards on the ABC Island and Esperance Island (AFTRS). Client meetings can also be arranged in Second Life through IMs to Ricardo Paravane (Ricardo Peach), or by contacting the Inter-Arts Office on (02) 9215 9110 or toll-free on 1800 226 912.
