HereAfter: Residency Open Call
Applications are now open for HereAfter - SPACE’s 2017 residency programme
augmented reality
noun
a technology that superimposes a computer generated image on a user's view of the real world, thus providing a composite view.
We are situated at a point where virtual and physical spaces are converging into one spatial experience. HereAfter explores how the virtual domain now impacts our perceptions of reality. It questions how access to space is mediated via technology, and in what way such tools reconfigure our own lived experience.
How are digital and physical spaces converging into one spatial condition?
How is the virtual domain changing our relation to the physical world?
What happens to our perception of reality as our ways of accessing the world are increasingly mediated through technology?
“AR has the potential to act as a harbinger of future hitech transformations whilst irrevocably altering the basic nature of everyday life.”

Submissions are welcomed from practitioners whose work engages with and responds to this provocation.
Practitioners will be selected in recognition of their proposal’s compatibility with the critical and experimental nature of the three month residency structure, where the focus is on process over product. The residency programme supports critical research, development, production and presentation of initiatives. Residents will be invited to contribute to and participate in programming activity - exhibiting their work, presenting their processes and leading workshops to further investigate their ideas.

1 x Artist CV
1 x Proposal for an artist led workshop to investigate their subject collaboratively
