For one year the selected participant will pen a monthly cross-post to the Vague Terrain and Artengine blogs. The residency kicks off on May 6th with a paid trip to the 2010 Elektra Festival in Montréal to post reviews and more from one of North America's premiere digital culture events. Applicants must be based in the Ottawa-Gatineau area, and are requested to send a resume and letter describing their interest in the electronic and media arts as well as what they would bring to the respective online publications. You may also submit links to previous on-line writings.

The resident will also receive workshops from the Ottawa Art Gallery during their 2011 critical writing series Articulation.

Applicants must be available for travel to Montréal from May 5th to 9th, 2010.
