Call for Participation!
Have you ever wanted to hack public space? Have you ever wanted to
change or augment the cities you live in or visit? Communectivity is
a four-day intensive workshop for interventions in the public city
space of Gent, Belgium. Participants will collectively build a public
interactive installation to be deployed in the city of Gent and
present their project in a public forum. Workshop activities will
include creating rapid prototypes of concepts, collective
brainstorming, hacking and circuit bending, and subverting existing
architectures, public spaces, and collective practice. We will also
focus on challenging accepted forms of use of mobile and wireless
technologies to create playful interventions that allow members of
the public to participate. Workshop participation is open to anyone
interested in artistic practice and technology. Technology skills are
not necessary and a diversity of skills and practice are welcome and
encouraged! (For more detailed description /info - see above URL)

Who Should Apply?
The workshop is open to anyone interested in artistic practice and
technology. Technology skills are not necessary. Students, designers,
musicians, architects, gardeners, commercial practitioners,
researchers, academics, are all invited to apply.


APPLICATION DEADLINE: April 17th, 2004
