zkarcher

I have released two iOS apps. I have planned a third app, but it's more complex than the others, and I'd like to develop it in (relative) isolation.

I applied to an artist's colony. They promise a distraction-free workspace, with meals brought to your door, etc. Sadly, they did not select me to be a resident. The app will be an artistic tool (processing incoming sounds, and composing musical phrases) but I fear that app development isn't recognized as an artform yet.

Should I:

1). Apply to other art colonies?

2). Ask other types of organizations for help? Are there "hacker colonies" anywhere in the world?

3). Make my own isolation -- rent a beach house, or remote cabin, for a couple months?

Any advice is appreciated.
