MAKE ART 2008
OpenOS 

CALL FOR PROJECTS

make art is an international festival dedicated to the integration of
Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS) in digital art.

The third edition of make art – OpenOS - will take place in 
Poitiers (FR), from the 24th to the 30th of November 2008.

make art offers performances, presentations, workshops and an 
exhibition, focused on the encounter between digital art and free 
software.

We're currently seeking new, innovative FLOSS based works and 
projects: music and audiovisual performances, presentations, software
demos, and installations.

This year make art focuses on the OpenOS: artistic, free, creative 
use of the Operating System, hackability and modularity of FLOSS and 
GNU/Linux, scripts as digital glue between applications, enhanced 
possibilities for the technical expression of ideas, user empowerment 
and artistic freedom. 

Please read the submission guidelines below, download the submission 
form, fill it in and return it to: makeart2008 =at= goto10 =dot= org

Types of projects
We are looking for installations, performances, and presentations 
that fit the focus of the festival. The festival theme OpenOS is not

make art 2007 and make art 2006 

Funding
make art is a small festival, we can provide selected projects with 
housing, travel and a modest fee. We cannot provide artists with 
funding for the development of projects. Larger projects should look 
into finding additional funding to attend the festival.
