Hoi Polyfloyd en Moem,
Ik heb een opzet voor een call for art geschreven, staat voor nu op een
pad: https://pad.ifcat.org/s/TjLRW0Qm7# Maar ik zal de tekst hieronder
ook gewoon plakken.
Groet,
Dany
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.
*The Ask*
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.
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.
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).
*The Benefit*
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.
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.
*About WHY2025*
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.

*How to propose your idea
