CALL FOR EXISTING WORKS
Make It Yourself is an exhibition of inventive Arduino and DIY electronic-circuitry projects to accompany the major solo exhibition Recorders by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer at Manchester Art Gallery between 18 September 2010 and 30 January 2011.
A rapidly expanding community of people worldwide is taking advantage of new, cheaper technology and a growing pool of shared knowledge to make things for themselves – useful things, clever things, silly things, unique things. Make It Yourself is a ‘small but perfectly formed’ show of a handpicked half-dozen of these hand-made devices.
We are now accepting submissions of existing Arduino and DIY electronic-circuitry projects from artists, hobbyists, hackers, DIY musicians and anyone interested in making things for themselves wishing to exhibit their work as part of Make It Yourself.
Please see http://www.manchestergalleries.org/whats-on/make-it-yourself/ for full details and entry form.

Is there a prize or any funding/payment for this, or do we enter just out of opensource-ness and creative commons-ness
The prize is to get the work shown as part of the AND Festival in Manchester, and at a later date (to be confirmed) in London. You don’t have to open source it, you are perfectly free to sell your piece as a work of art (or whatever) afterwards!
