Goldsmiths Thursday Club: Call for Projects, 2009 2010 season


OPEN CALL FOR PROJECTS & PROPOSALS

The Thursday Club is an open forum discussion group for anyone interested
in the theories and practices of cross-disciplinarity, interactivity,
technologies and philosophies of the state-of-the-art in today’s (and
tomorrow’s) cultural landscape(s). The Club is supported by the Goldsmiths
Digital Studios (GDS) and the Goldsmiths Graduate School.

Originally set up in October 2005 by GDS as a more informal setting for
research discussions, it has grown to include over 200 members: artists,
technologists, scientists – in fact, a growing diversity of people from
different communities worldwide, that are connected via a mailing list and
online forum.

Most importantly, there are regular meetings in ‘real’ space at the Ben
Pimlott site of Goldsmiths, University of London. Anyone can attend these
events. By keeping these meetings free, informal and open to all, we
provide a platform for diverse and open ended discourse, for people who
perhaps would not have the opportunity to discuss ideas outside of their
chosen discipline.

The Thursday Club brings together people from diverse fields and degrees
of expertise, aiming to initiate discussion and debates among postgraduate
students, researchers, academics, artists, theorists, and other cultural
practitioners.

Since it focuses on interdisciplinary practices, the Club is interested to
experiment with innovative formats of presentation that are appropriate to
the nature of the subject. We particularly welcome the proposal of round
table discussions, panels, screenings, ‘hearings’, live gigs and
performance lectures. We are also interested to platform experimental
work-in-progress of both practical and theoretical nature.
