Dustin Grella: Animation Hotline
Animation Hotline is a series of daily animations where I use messages 
left on my voicemail for content. In a day and age when most of the 
newspapers have moved from print to the internet, I'd like to do the 
same for the funny pages. Leave me a message before the dorkbot session 
and I'll try to animate it. Use the keyword "dorkbot" somewhere in the 
message, so I know to bring it in to screen that night. Animation

Joelle Bitton: Hide & Seek
Joelle Bitton recently realized that most of her work dealt with showing 
and hiding inner thoughts, fantasies, dreams, personal geographies. All 
themes that particularly fit the interactive use of interfaces. She's 
therefore keen to share her findings by showing - and hiding - some of 
her extroverted/secretive work.

Ed Bear and Lea Bertucci: ExiTrip
ExiTrip is a project by Artist/Engineer team Lea Bertucci and Ed Bear 
and sponsored by Free103point9. As is, this outmoded iPod accessory only 
functions with a single generation of iPod Nano, which is no longer 
manufactured. At 40¢ each on Ebay, the low price creates unprecedented 
distribution opportunities for a low power transmitter and encourages 
end-user experimentation. We have hacked the iTrip to function without 
necessity of an iPod, vastly increasing its usefulness as a development 
platform for artists and designers. Since September of 2010, we have 
distributed these hacked devices to artists of different disciplines and 
are documenting their work for a forthcoming book. How can we, as 
artists, thinkers, hackers and designers break the cycle of electronic 
waste that is perpetuated by planned obsolescence and bad design?
