<div>We are pleased to announce the call for proposals for Seattle Dorkbot's art exhibition "Strange Things" is up!<br> <br><a href="http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe4/callforartists.shtml">http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe4/callforartists.shtml</a><br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>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.<br>
<br>Please see : <a href="http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe3/">http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe3/</a> for inspiration from our last art exhibit <br>or see flickr pictures from last year's show at <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/tags/pdstwe3/interesting/">http://flickr.com/photos/tags/pdstwe3/interesting/</a></div>
