Mi.Mu x filmpro: The Open Fund for Organisations
Remote_CTRL is an exciting new research and development residency. We’re inviting five Disabled artists and musicians to spend the summer of 2021 making new work that explores and expands the creative and technical potential of MiMU Gloves.
MiMU Gloves are a wearable motion-based electronic instrument. As a new and evolving technology, there is massive scope for innovation in how the Gloves can be played, and we’re excited to see how the resident artists make use of them during their residencies. Remote_CTRL offers each artist their very own pair of MiMU Gloves to keep, alongside relevant software, a series of talks and workshops with industry innovators, specialist technical and creative mentoring, access support, and opportunities to publicly share their work in progress.
Residents will also be invited to actively contribute to a research paper, developed in partnership with technologists from UWE’s department of Computer Science and Creative Technologies. The residency is open to artists who self-identify as Disabled, and our approach is informed by the Social Model of Disability. Remote_CTRL Residency is a collaboration between MiMU Gloves and filmpro, which has been made possible with support from PRS Foundation’s Open Fund, Arts Council England, UWE Bristol, Pervasive Media Studio, and Ableton.
