Hybrid : experimental prototyping for augmented perception
CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Hybrid project will select 4-6 proposals for prototyping devices for augmented human perception to be developed in a multidisciplinary experimental laboratory in São Paulo , between March 17 and May 2, 2014.
Until February 14 researchers , artists , designers , engineers , physicians , biotechnologists , amateurs and curious are invited to enroll projects that deal with the expansion of human perception in 3 areas: vision, hearing and structure.
Between February 20 and March 10 , interested in participating in the prototypes , complementing and collaborating with these ideas may apply so we can organize properly the transdisiplinaries groups.
To create connections , increase the power of these ideas , discuss the role of the body in the midst of innovations in ( bio ) technology are central to this proposal .
The project provides the framework for these proposals come to life and be raised to unusual powers through this dialogue with different expertises .
We offer the laboratory , electronics , technical facilitators , and respected researchers in various fields that separated a special time for us to further understand how our bodies are made and how the techniques can be subverted in a poetic way .
Shall be 7 weeks ( 2 times per week) meetings to develop conceptual prototypes and 5 meetings on Fridays , which will assist in the technical and poetic development processes .
We expect that , in addition to your presence during the practical and theoretical processes , the development of projects to be shared with the world through the process of good documentation on the project blog .
