A platform for exchange, exploration and co-production for the digital arts, bringing together facilities for production, broadcasting, training and research around Europe, the RAN (Digital Arts Network) is launching a first call for proposals aimed at artists, scientists, technicians, businesses, scenographers, computer graphists, visual artists, musicians and multimedia creators.

RAN believes that the initiative of the artistic creation must come from artists themselves and not directly from cultural, industrial or scientific organisations. This call for proposals aims at developing the best conditions for the seeding and creation of artistic projects, in order for a common methodology of coproduction to arise.

Projects may concern three fields:
1. Live performances employing digital resources
2. Installations using digital resources
3. Net.art
Proposals must be submitted by a team composed of at least one artist and one scientist or engineer. Applicants must present a project that has not been completed or produced already, a work in progress or a model. Projects must be original. Applicants must also have raised 20% of the funding required for their project, whatever the source and form of this financing.
