| The Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM] opened in November 2003 as a platform for creating novel forms of artistic expression dealing with media technology and the human body. YCAM and its unique production system centered around the YCAM InterLab team has become a hub for creation and communication, expanding the realm of art/media/body expression, and connecting the region to the world. The YCAM 10th Anniversary Program was put together with the aim to indicate further developments as an evolving art center, with the numerous creative endeavors we have been engaging in from the beginning as a foundation.As commemoration of our 10th Anniversary, we start our first-ever public competition for our 10th Anniversary Program this year to meet emerging talents.We call for proposals exploring possible future ways of life and lifestyles that, with such concepts as "shared," "nomadic" or "mobile," keep changing in recent years. The 2011 earthquake generated a striking diversity in terms of information acquisition and editing skills, and at the same time, inspired us to question ways of forging direct relationships with society and local communities as bases for living. Take this opportunity to realize ideas to work as continuous platforms for seeking in the concepts of media possible answers to fundamental investigations into life and lifestyle that have recently come under review. Excellent plans will be realized through a two- to three-month residency.This competition is open to all ages and nationalities regardless of career or background.Venue information and dates: Yamaguchi Center for Arts and Media [YCAM]July 6–September 1 / November 1–December 1, 2013  | ||

Little known prehistoric and ancient historic sites in this region tell parts of a story more than 10,000 years old, of the Mughals, the Chandelas, going back to the Guptas, the Kushans, the Shungas and the Indo-Greeks all the way to prehistoric cave-dwellers, revealing secrets of the birth of the philosophies of Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism and their common Tantric spiritual traditions. The artists of the residency are invited to have their own experience of this heritage, like the sadhus, aghoris, and mystics who make solitary pilgrimages through this region, called the most powerful tantric region in the world, in search of enlightenment. The Last Ship residency program is a one-of-a-kind experience of a history, nature and culture, hidden in the chaos and turmoil...
