<p>Hoi Polyfloyd en Moem,</p>
<p>Ik heb een opzet voor een call for art geschreven, staat voor nu
op een pad: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://pad.ifcat.org/s/TjLRW0Qm7#">https://pad.ifcat.org/s/TjLRW0Qm7#</a> Maar ik zal de
tekst hieronder ook gewoon plakken.</p>
<p>Groet,</p>
<p>Dany<br>

<p>We Hackers Yearn for art! To dress up the upcoming WHY2025
hackercamp We are looking for artworks and are calling on
artists, makers and hackers to give their creativity free reign
to dress up the WHY2025 grounds with their creativity.</p>
<p><strong>The Ask</strong><br>
The things that we look for artworks or installations that can
be set up as a single object or a small cluster of objects and
that connect to our visual theme of space, neon and synthwave.
With a strong preference for artworks that include lighting
effects.</p>
<p>We do offer a budget of up to € 500 for artists to build their
installations to cover material costs. If your idea is
proportionally cooler higher budgets are possible. If you don’t
have a workshop or storage space we can offer, in consultation,
a place to build and store your works in advance of the event.
This will be in the hackerspaces Bitlair, Amersfoort or
Hackalot, Eindhoven. In both hackerspaces you will find a range
of tools, equipment and a welcoming culture of creative people.</p>
<p>When designing and building your artworks keep in mind that
WHY2025 is an outdoor festival and most works will be exhibited
in the open air, in Dutch summer conditions (wet, dry, hot,
sunny, everything is possible).</p>
<p><strong>The Benefit</strong><br>
Exposure! You get to exhibit your idea at a four day event with
about 3.500 visitors. It’s a bit of a cliché, we know. As a
non-profit fully volunteer run event we unfortunately can’t pay
you handsomely for your efforts. But you can count on a
community of people that will be interested in your work, be
happy to ask detailed questions, and will appreciate the minute
nerdy details that costed you hours to figure out.</p>
<p>Community! If you’re not already familiar with the hacker/maker
community, prepare to be welcomed by a group of people that is
open to cool works, that will lend a hand when needed, like to
learn from you, or teach you a skill you don’t yet posses. A
community that gathers in a network of Hackerspaces around the
country to create cool things.</p>
<p><strong>About WHY2025</strong><br>
WHY2025 is a nonprofit outdoors hacker camp taking place in
Geestmerambacht, the Netherlands (approx 42km North of
Amsterdam), on 8-12 August 2025. The event is organized for and
by volunteers from the worldwide hacker community. Knowledge
sharing, technological advancement, experimentation, connecting
with your hacker peers, forging friendships and hacking
(everything from computers to food) are at the core of this
event.</p>
<p>For more information about the invent visit our Wiki.</p>
<p><strong>How to propose your idea<br>
</strong>If you want to propose your ideas or want to discuss
options: please get in touch with the volunteers of <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="Team:Deco">Team:Deco</a> to
get the ball rolling.</p>

Dany,

<br>
<br>
Zoals op de orga-meet besproken, wij met <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="Team:Deco">Team:Deco</a> willen graag
een oproep doen aan kunstenaars/makers/hackers om hun fantasie los
te laten op een decoratief item voor op het terrein. Een Call For
Art als het ware.
<br>
<br>
Wat we zoeken zijn werken:
<br>
* Die als 1 unit op te stellen zijn, of als clustertje objecten
<br>
* Betrekking hebben tot het visuele thema (space, neon, synthwave)
<br>
* Budget zo rond de € 500. Meer is mogelijk, maar dan moet het wel
proportioneel cool zijn
<br>
* We hebben een sterke voorkeur voor dingen die licht geven
<br>
* Bouw- en opslagruimte is in overleg beschikbaar bij Bitlair in
Amersfoort en Hackalot in Eindhoven
<br>
<br>
<br>
Groetjes,
<br>
Polyfloyd en Moem
