>  Vectors is a new, international electronic journal dedicated to
> expanding the potentials of academic publication via emergent and
> transitional media. Vectors brings together visionary scholars with
> cutting-edge designers and technologists to propose a thorough
> rethinking of the dynamic relationship of form to content in academic=

> research, focusing on the ways technology shapes, transforms and
> reconfigures social and cultural relations.
>
>
>
>  Vectors will adhere to the highest standards of quality in a
> strenuously reviewed format. The journal is edited by Tara McPherson=

>  About the Fellowships
>
>  =B7 Vectors Fellowships will be awarded to up to six individuals or=

> teams of collaborators in the early to mid- stages of development of
a=

> scholarly multimedia project related to the themes of Evidence or
> Mobility. Completed projects will be included in the first two issues=

> of the journal beginning in fall 2004. Vectors will feature
> next-generation multimedia work, moving far beyond the =91text with
> image=92 format of most online scholarly publications.
>
>
>
>  Fall 2004: Evidence
>
>  =B7 The first issue of the journal will be devoted to a broad
> reconsideration of the notion of Evidence and its multiple
> transformations in contemporary scholarship and digital culture.

>
>
>  Spring 2004: Mobility
>
>  =B7 The second issue will be devoted to exploring the shifting =
concepts

>  About the Awards
>
>  All fellowship recipients will participate in a one-week residency
> June 21-25, 2004 at the Institute for Multimedia Literacy in Los
> Angeles, where they will have access to the IML=92s state of the art,=

>  The residency will include colloquia and working sessions where

> collectively engage relevant issues in scholarly multimedia.
> Applicants need not be proficient with new media authoring; however,=

>  About the Proposals
>
>  We are seeking project proposals that creatively address issues
> related to the first two themes of Evidence and Mobility. While the
> format of the journal is meant to explore innovative forms of
> multimedia scholarship, we are not necessarily looking for projects
> that are about new media. Rather, we are interested in the various
> ways that new media suggest a transformation of scholarship, art and=

> communication practices and their relevance to everyday life in an
> unevenly mediated world.
>
>
>
>  Applicants are encouraged to think beyond the computer screen to
> consider possibilities created by the proliferation of wireless
> technology, handheld devices, alternative exhibition venues, etc.
> Fellows will also have the possibility to imagine scholarly
> applications for newly developing technologies through productive
> collaborations with scientists and engineers. Projects may translate=

> existing scholarly work or be entirely conceived for new media. We
are=

> particularly interested in work that re-imagines the role of the user=

> and seeks to reach broader publics while creatively exploring the
> value of collaboration and interactivity.
>
>
>
>  Proposals should include the following:
>
>  =B7 Title of project and a one-sentence description
>
>  =B7 A 3-5 page description of the project concept, goals and outcome=

> (this description should address questions of audience, innovative
> uses of interactivity, address and form, as well the project=92s
> contribution to the field of multimedia scholarship and to
> contemporary scholarship more generally)
>
>  =B7 Brief biography of each applicant, including relevant
> qualifications and experience for this fellowship
>
>  =B7 Full CV for each applicant
>
>  =B7 Anticipated required resources (design, technical, hardware,
> software, exhibition, etc.)
>
>  =B7 Projected timeline
>
>  =B7 Sample media if available (CD, DVD, VHS (any standard), or NTSC=
