Art Hack Weekend

Aug 05, 2011 - Aug 07, 2011

Join Eyebeam Art & Technology Center and The Creators Project August 5th-7th for Art Hack Weekend, a two-day, open-source hackathon that celebrates new artistic experiences.

Design, code and prototype projects that re-imagine the way we create, consume, and interact with media.

We are interested in exploring how new technological advancements in fields like motion tracking, depth mapping, holographics and 3D visuals, gesture control, augmented reality, projection mapping, and networked environments can be transformed into tools that help change the way we experience and connect with art both on and offline, and/or creating entirely new artistic experiments. Projects can come in the form of web apps, mobile apps, installations, widgets, websites, or any combination of the above.

We will kick-off the weekend with a BBQ on Friday night, followed by a hacking marathon on Saturday and Sunday. We’ll be feeding you throughout the weekend and providing plenty of coffee to keep your batteries charged.

We’re looking for: Projects can come in the form of web apps, mobile apps, installations, widgets, and websites that re-imagine these tools and techniques as:

a) tools for enjoying and/or learning about art b) a unique installation or creative work

This Art Hack Weekend is offered as part of Eyebeam's Summer School 2011 collaboration with The Creators Project. We are offering workshops and Meetups as a lead-up to this event. Check-out related programs.
