to Birmingham Hack Space

La Suite Logique hackerspace invites hackers from all around the world
to
participate to the first edition of Les Contorsions Technologiques
that will
run from April 30 to May 2 at la Suite, alternative cultural space in
the
middle of Paris, France.

What are Les Contorsions Technologiques ? It's a mix of workshops,
exhibitions,
demonstrations and performance, in a setting favorable to discovery,
experimentation and exchange. It's an invitation to grab the tools and
take the
initiative back, to shatter norms and reshape our universe. It's the
celebration of all the creative, funny or spectacular uses of
technology, and
knowledge sharing.

Help us to spread the word by diffusing this Call for Proposals!

--[ Call for Proposals ]----

Les Contorsions Technologiques revolve around three big ideas:
- exhibiting tangible technology applications, as they are easier to
feel;
- guiding people on their meeting with technology;
- inspire people into following our footsteps and play with
technology.

We decided to not have lectures, and to ignore computer-only subjects.
But do
not worry, there is still a wealth of topics. If you are unsure about
this,
here is a list of possible topics:

* Electronics Basics
- all arduino things
- blinky boards
- squeaky circuits
- robotic runts
- radio transmissions

* Day to day
- TV-B-gone and friends
- RFID jewelry
- RFID killers
- makerbots and RepRap
- DIY domestic appliances
- DIY biotechs
- DIY clothing

* Art and games
- brainmachine
- demomaking
- 8-bit music
- puredata and supercollider
- object tracking
- physical peripherals
- circuit bending

* Urban hacking
- LED throwies
- laser tag
- building fronts as giants screen, one pixel per window

* Science
- Tesla coils
- quadrocopters
- autonomous drones

And, of course, everything we might have forgotten ...

Finally, we have the pleasure to offer you a quite uncommun exhibition
medium,
the front of a 7 story building. Be megalomaniac, we have the
resources for!
