This programme does not cover the simple digitisation of art (in any artform) or performance and must relate to the development of artistic practice and digital capability.
Filmed performances, audio recordings or video capture of material that would be intended for in-person performance is not suitable as the output of a project proposal, and applications applying for such output activity will be rejected as ineligible.
Eligible Expenditure
Examples of the types of projects that this programme will support include:
- Creation of a virtual environment or augmented reality environment, such as augmented reality visual arts or sound overlay on venues or geographical spaces.
- Using technology, such as 3D rendering and printing, to create artwork digitally which can either exist digitally or be manufactured into 3D physical objects.
- Using technology to translate data into artistic content, for example algorithms that create music or visual content from data input
- App development for the delivery of artistic content. This could include gamification or making an artistic experience for consumption on digital devices.
- Piloting new forms of support to individual artists or organisations that results in the creation of digital art.
