Program Manager, ONX Studio (Full-Time)<\/i><\/p>\n
About ONX Studio<\/i><\/p>\n
ONX Studio, founded as a joint program of the New Museum\u2019s NEW INC program and Onassis<\/i><\/p>\n
USA, is a shared production studio and exhibition space for top creative XR artists and<\/i><\/p>\n
professionals working across a range of immersive technologies \u2013 often crossing over into live<\/i><\/p>\n
performance and other fi elds. Launched in September 2020, there are currently four main<\/i><\/p>\n
components to the ONX Studio:<\/i><\/p>\n
1) Membership & Community<\/i><\/p>\n
ONX plays an active role toward sustaining an artistic community around XR and immersive<\/i><\/p>\n
practices. In all cases ONX seeks to create mentorship, advancement and collaborative<\/i><\/p>\n
opportunities for this community of approximately 40 creators and artists. Community<\/i><\/p>\n
members have been selected from New York, nationally in the US, Greece and beyond.<\/i><\/p>\n
a) We offer this community dedicated studio and workspace to operate their practice and to<\/i><\/p>\n
realize new creative projects. The Studio includes equipment and facilities suitable for<\/i><\/p>\n
producing XR work, including such resources as sound-proof, light-controlled rooms,<\/i><\/p>\n
high-processing power computers, VR and AR headsets, a motion capture system,<\/i><\/p>\n
projectors, lighting kits and a suite of audio production resources.<\/i><\/p>\n
b) There are a range of events and support activities for members, including fi nancial support,<\/i><\/p>\n
presentation opportunities, bi-monthly community events and social occasions and<\/i><\/p>\n
networking.<\/i><\/p>\n
c) Some public programs will be generated by the Program Manager. Others may be<\/i><\/p>\n
partner-generated with invited guest organizations or artists.<\/i><\/p>\n
2) Presentation Partnerships<\/i><\/p>\n
Through developing durable, trusted partnerships with other leading organizations in the US<\/i><\/p>\n
and globally, ONX aims to create opportunities for its members, as well as public audiences, to<\/i><\/p>\n
experience work at the highest level in the space itself. Through leveraging these institutional<\/i><\/p>\n
collaborations ONX seeks to increase its public profi le and add value in the fi eld.<\/i><\/p>\n
a) ONX co-produces 2-3 public facing programs of XR work from non-member artists in<\/i><\/p>\n
collaboration with other organizations (Venice, Tribeca, MAX, New York Live Arts,<\/i><\/p>\n
Sundance, etc)<\/i><\/p>\n
b) ONX actively seeks out opportunities for our artists\u2019 projects and with the resources<\/i><\/p>\n
available, support those opportunities wherever possible<\/i><\/p>\n
c) ONX does occasionally seek out rentals, enable one-off space usage or other more casual<\/i><\/p>\n
partnerships.<\/i><\/p>\n
3) Thought Leadership<\/i><\/p>\n
ONX serves as a hub for conversation, development and ideas through a program of public<\/i><\/p>\n
facing and industry programs.<\/i><\/p>\n
a) ONX will host bi-monthly public-facing programs live and online around key ideas in the<\/i><\/p>\n
fi eld. Curatorial opportunities will be offered to at-large members for these programs.<\/i><\/p>\n
b) During local events such as the Tribeca festival ONX will host brunches, or other events<\/i><\/p>\n
for industry.<\/i><\/p>\n
4) Transatlantic Bridge<\/i><\/p>\n
ONX serves as a bridge between NYC and Athens, serving to extend and amplify the work of<\/i><\/p>\n
ONX artists, and the Greek XR community through presentation, humanities events and<\/i><\/p>\n
education.<\/i><\/p>\n
a) A number of Greek artists nominated by Onassis are guaranteed membership as outlined<\/i><\/p>\n
above<\/i><\/p>\n
b) With the curatorial team in Athens, ONX works are a part of exhibitions and other events<\/i><\/p>\n
in Athens produced by Onassis there.<\/i><\/p>\n
c) At least one workshop \/ masterclass will be held in Athens each year led by ONX<\/i><\/p>\n
members, and we will explore opportunities for deeper workshops focused on particular<\/i><\/p>\n
new technologies.<\/i><\/p>\n
d) ONX members will have opportunities for residencies in Athens as studio space and a new<\/i><\/p>\n
lab comes on line.<\/i><\/p>\n
