<nettime-ann> Call for Demonstrations OzCHI 2016

For the first time in the history of OzCHI, we are having a research demonstration track this year. The OzCHI demonstration track is the hands on part of the conference for showing your work and engaging with the OzCHI attendees. Your demonstration can take the shape of a live, interactive demo, a lab/corporate exhibition or any combination of these! Research demonstrations will be open to general public. Hence, it must be relevant for the scientific community and have appeal to the general public.
