Call for Projects: Electrosmog International Festival for Sustainable

Immobility
March 18-20, 2010
Deadline Feburary 5 2010


Dear ADA

As part of Aotearoa Digital Arts' participation in the electrosmog
festival, we invite you to submit plans for projects that engage with

one or more of the festival's themes (listed below).

The projects can take any appropriate form: distributed, networked,
self-contained, globally participatory, localised, mobile, immobile,
object-based, immaterial, grandiose, self-effacing, high-tech, low-
tech, strategic, tactical, audio, visual, tactile...

The projects need to be carried out on or before the weekend of March

18-20 2010, and able to be documented online on or before the end of
the festival (for international appreciation).

We (the ADA Trust) have a small amount of money available as seed
funding for a small number of projects for the festival, so if you
would like to propose something please send me the following details
by February 5 2010:

- A brief description of the project and how it responds to one or
more of the Electrosmog themes
- A brief description of the participants involved / required (and how

you will locate participants if you need to)
- A list of technical and other requirements, indicating what you have

access to, and what still needs to be sourced (and how you will source

things)
- A budget outline indicating outstanding costs

Basically we need to know what you need to make it happen, and an
indication of how realistic it is!

We will inform successful applicants be Feb 12, leaving 5 weeks to
realise the project in time for the festival.

Send project applications and any questions etc to me:
zita@ethermap.org

Festival themes and details of the global festival are below - we'll
announce more of what will happen here in NZ in the next couple of
weeks.

(also the electrosmog design competition announced on the list a few
weeks ago is accepting submissions until Feb 15:
