Hi all, My friend Anouk is looking for collaborators for "Local Androids" who are artists in residence @ MQ in February. See details in email and contact Anouk directly if this sounds interesting. It sounds fun, but unfortunately I'm swamped in February.. For a project description, see http://dl.dropbox.com/u/595784/Improved-skin-eng.jpg -Marius Begin forwarded message:

Dear Marius,

As you might know, I'm curating the 'TechnoSensual' exhibition that will open at the 14th of June in Freiraum/quartier21INTERNATIONAL together with MOMUK during the MQ's Summer of Fashion; an exhibition about fashion and technology (reactive / interactive fashion designs) - for this we have the artist in residency program here in MQ - we invite a fashion designer or engineer over from the Netherlands and connect this artist in residency of MQ to a fashion designer or engineer from Austria.

For a residency during February I'm still looking for some (more edgy / experimental / conceptual) fashion designer AND an electronic person who would like to collaborate with the artists in residency's - the Local Android, two crazy and very talented futuristic artists from the Netherlands http://localandroids.com/. It will mainly be just playing around and searching for a solution to create the prototype and will just take a couple of hours.

Also, I want to ask you if you have any idea's on their concept (see attachment) how technology-wise this can be fixed AND if you know anybody in Vienna to help them.

Or will you be interested / available yourself? (what would be cool! We can play around!)

They want to work with inflatable structures and are using Dragon Skin as their base material, like Jane uses, that they want to inflate and deflate according to some inputs / tech wise (interaction design)

Attached you can find a small proposal.

It's this effect that they want to reach http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynHP99gpTN4&feature=related (check it at 01.12 of the youtube movie)

Hope to hear from you!!

Kind regards, Anouk Wipprecht
