| <nettime-ann> [call] BIP Building Interactive Playgrounds, 2nd edition, July |
. BIP - BUILDING INTERACTIVE PLAYGROUNDS 2nd edition Elettrowave, July 14-16 2006 Arezzo/Italy We are currently accepting applications to participate in the second edition of BIP, an International Competition for interaction design projects for public events. BIP will happen during Elettrowave, a three day festival of electronic music. Elettrowave is part of Arezzowave, the biggest free music festival in = Italy. 01 WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR? If you want to play with space and time and people, if you like crossing barriers and probing around in extreme situations, if you fiddle around with the idea the space can be programmed, if you eat social patterns for your breakfast, if you are not scared by a drunk young audience, if you keep telling your friends that environments are not passive wrappings but active processes, if your perceptions keep shifting, if your projects are about interplay, exploration and humor, if tinkering with technology is your obsession... ...then... this call for works is your unique chance to experiment with interaction design within the context of an electronic music festival. Nightlife, extreme characters, clubbing freaks, a young, unrespectuful and challenging audience. You know what we are talking about, don't you? We are looking for projects. Not vague ideas. Real projects that can substantially and meaningfully enrich the Elettrowave event and strengthen involvement. Clubbing is the context, not the object, of BIP. We're looking for something innovative, passionate and fresh that can = make a difference. Interactive installations, environments, sound and/or visual projects, etc. If your project is at an early stage we will consider it only if you can prove you'll be able to produce it within the festival deadline. We may offer production assistance if we fall in love with your project proposal. Please keep in mind that the projects should be able to stand 3 nights of extremely intense use, in a venue with thousands of people. = Please consider production feasibility and all possible setup constraints. 02 WHO IS ELIGIBLE? Participation is open to applicants from every country in the world, to (interaction) designers, artists, researchers, architects, students. Participation is free. 03 SUBMISSION DEADLINE All project proposals must be postmarked by March 10th, 2006. Late entries will not be accepted. By submitting a project, the applicant warrants that it is his/her original design. 04 HOW AND WHEN ARE THE PROJECTS SELECTED? In March 2006, a panel of jurors will select up to 3 projects. Winners will be announced during a workshop/event in April. The event = will be hosted by Universit=E0 di Siena, Italy. 05 AWARDS Selected projects will be installed for the three nights of Elettrowave 2006. This is a precious opportunity to test your interactive projects in the context of an electronic music festival. The projects will benefit from a total budget of 10.000 euros offered = by BIP. The budget will be divided between the selected projects according to production, transportation and setup costs. BIP will consider supporting production costs of new projects that are being presented to the public for the first time.
