In the garage...

Join us for this real-time audio and video performance event which celebrates the Dirty New Media movement in Chicago. Dirty New Media artists utilize hacked electronics and improvisation to create works of art that are so wrong they’re right. Performances take place in the bottom level of the museum’s garage (accessible by Chicago Avenue, at the intersection of N. Fairbanks Ct.) and start at 6 pm, with setup starting at 4 pm. Feel free to stop in and chat with folks as they prep their circuits and setup. This event is organized in collaboration with Nick Briz, an artist currently based in Chicago.

Norway's annual open source art festival, taking place in Bergen this fall, has released an official call for projects. I participated in Piksel last year, and it was a fantastic experience. There were tons of interesting folks and technological artworks from around the world, all coming together in the spirit of DIY.

Visit the information page below for the submission form and more details. The deadline is August 15.
