Videotage is a non-profit interdisciplinary artist collective with a focus on the development of video and new media art in Hong Kong. One of Asia’s first media art organizations, Videotage was founded in 1986 and is funded by the government to cultivate interest and nurture artists in this swiftly evolving field of art.

Videotage is now accepting applications for 2009-2011 residencies. We would like to invite all local and international artists/curators/researchers/engineer/bloggers/environmentalist/activists interested in the field of media art to submit proposals for a creative and edgy project to be completed between 2009-2011 The residency is a one- to six-month period in which residents focus in, but not limited to, the following areas:

1. Research projects
2. Ongoing curatorial programming
3. Video art archive development
4. Fundraising development / Non-profit management

With the opportunity to join our broad network of artists, curators, academics and researchers working in the field of media art and to use our resources, residents are expected to develop a project to be completed, not necessarily within the period of residency, and lead to possible outcomes such as seminar, public discussion, performance and exhibition. Residents are also encouraged to participate in public events including workshops, demonstrations of research-in-progress and online releases.

- Media resources (video art archive, library)
- Network (artists, curators, academics, art institutions, universities, galleries, festivals etc.)
- Production resources (equipment i.e. projectors, cameras, TVs, computers etc.)
- Venue/space for exhibition and art making
- A stipend of up to HK$20,000 to support project execution
(depending on the scale of the project, amount will be confirmed upon acceptance of proposals)

International residents are responsible for their travel costs, accommodation, living and moving expenses. Videotage staff will assist as much as possible with visa arrangements and locating cheaper accommodation in Hong Kong.

Residents can have a work desk in our office and make use of our gallery space, of which you can find the floor plan here. Residents have access to the space during office hours and other times upon request. Videotage will provide project-specific technical assistance to residents where possible though residents are expected to possess the skills necessary to execute their projects.
