argos is looking for an ICT collaborator
As a centre for the arts with a focus on audiovisual media and visual  
culture, argos (based in Brussels) keeps close track of digital  
evolutions. Both our activities and communication are largely  
determined by the potential of new technologies: from online  
databases and CRM applications to RAID archiving and VoIP  
telecommunication. As audiovisual media are taking on new shapes, the  
production and distribution models evolve as well (e.g. High  
Definition formats, tapeless video-storage, IPTV, P2P and streaming),  
developments with repercussions on the various functions of argos.

argos is looking for a collaborator who can help to steer these  
developments in the right direction, both logistically, as with  
regards to infrastructure or content. This collaborator will assert  
him-/herself to translate the activities of argos efficiently into a  
digital environment, investigate the various possibilities, both  
receptively and proactively and follow up on the implementations, in  
collaboration with the communication team and/or external  
collaborators. He or she will make out the link between technology  
and content and from that perspective he will think along about the  
use and applications of ICT, with regards to communication,  
production, archiving, distribution and presentation.
