Hey look! We're supporting HACK: A Technology Based Design and Art Exhibition! Check out their
Kickstarter campaign and
website for more info. Artists and designers have until this Friday, April 6th, to submit work for the exhibition and everyone has until April 22nd to become a backer on
Kickstarter. Check it out!
Here's some more info from hackphilly.com:
The emergence of new technology has unveiled a
community of people who may or may not consider themselves artists or
designers. Hackers are liberating these technologies from the intentions
of their original creators, thus rendering new raw materials resulting
in unintended consequences. Ultimately, traditional borders do not bind
these interstitial communities; by re-appropriating, merging, extending,
and breaking down barriers through disruption, these hackers are
creating something new and innovative.
HACK is an open call for technology-based projects.
Inviting participation from designers and artists working for/ with
hacker spaces / maker spaces. We are encouraging collaborative works for
submission, but this is not a requirement. We are asking for a range of
works: From 2D to 3D works, applications, wearable’s, installation,
objects, and performances. Works from groups or individuals not
associated with hacker / maker spaces will be considered for submission
as well.
PLEASE SEND ALL SUBMISSIONS TO: INFO@HACKPHILLY.COM
SUBMISSION GUIDELINES: UP TO THREE WORKS PER TEAM /
INDIVIDUAL. All work will be carefully examined. Please be aware that
all equipment must be provided by the designer / artist. Any 2D work
must be framed and or ready to hang.
Include the word: Submission in the subject line. Please label your
photos with your last name followed by the name of the piece and a # if
you are submitting multiple images of the same piece: example:
“zahn_falling_01.jpg”. Links to video or other media is also allowed.
Also include your name, address, phone number, and web address for ALL
members of your team (if it is a group project).
