Infectious Open Call_
Date 14th November 2008 - 1st December 2008
Tags exhibition, submission, international, opportunity
Calling all cultural epidemiologists, microbial artists, viral marketers, digital immunologists, social modellers, pyramid schemers, fashion vectors, memetic engineers, and carriers of dangerous ideas ...
The Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin invites proposals for works to be included in a new exhibition: INFECTIOUS. Focussed on contagion and its mechanisms in media of all kinds, the exhibition will explore both how things spread and why it matters from the perspectives of agents, hosts, and systems. INFECTIOUS will sample not only the workings of human diseases and immune responses, but the propagation of ideas and the recent developments in network theory that link all of this together.
Interested applicants are encouraged to submit new project proposals for installations, events, or workshops, focussed on some aspect of infection.
From April 2009 INFECTIOUS will run for three months with a full complement of related performances, talks, debates and other events. Science Gallery plans to include within the exhibition works created in response to this call as well as components developed by project staff and advisors.
Entries must be submitted no later than Monday, 1 December 2008, 5pm GMT.
