Subject: Dorkbort's Strange Things [PDSWE4] Request for Proposals due 
March 7


We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for Seattle Dorkbot's 
art exhibition "Strange Things" is up!
 
http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe4/callforartists.shtml
 
As in previous years we are seeking a broad range of art that uses 
electricity as a major component: interactive installations, art that 
borders the line between physical and digital art, kinetic sculpture, 
large scale collaborations, lighting installations, web-based art, 
networked art, ubiquitous computing...to name a few.
 
This year we are also inviting artists to create and collaborate on 
works that explore the theme "Emergent Communication." Artists are 
encouraged (but not required) to work in groups to build pieces that 
communicate with each other (and potentially the viewers and 
environment) in novel ways, to create a larger system that's greater and 
more complex than its individual parts.
 
Please see : http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe3/ for 
inspiration from our last art exhibit
