Subject: [dorkbotsea-announce] 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
