DWELL is seeking creative work proposals for The North Woods Project (NWP), a multimodal digital media storytelling project on the URI campus. Selected proposals will receive a paid honorarium** and will be featured in the digital project and displayed in an exhibit at the Coastal Institute. This project seeks to tell the story of URI’s North Woods from a wide array of perspectives, approaches, and areas of focus. Visit the NWP Project Page for Details and a link to submit.
What We Are Looking For
We are seeking a wide range of creative and scientific work related to the North Woods, from creative genres like poetry, drawing, digital art, nonfiction to the more scientific genres like photography, short videos, 3D models, and other types of visualizations. We are especially interested in work that blends or bends genre. Proposals can come from students (or groups of students) in any discipline at URI, and we encourage ideas that engage collaborative and cross-disciplinary practices.
About NWP
NWP is an immersive multimedia experience for the North Woods—a 300-acre parcel of unmanaged forests and wetlands on the north part of URI’s campus. Using augmented reality, we are producing a digital walking tour that will feature different artistic and scientific perspectives on the North Woods. We will also feature the content on a website with a digital map so that everyone can access the tour.
