Open Call for Participants in Art Hack Day: DETHRONE on 2/22–2/24

[Rebecca Power]

Hello all, happy New Year!

I want to invite you to apply or save the date for an awesome participatory art event I am co-producing in February in collaboration with Gray Area. We've got an open call for participants going through 1/13, and tickets for the show on 2/24 will be released after the application closes.

Here is the pitch(!) : Art Hack Day (www.arthackday.net) is an event for hackers whose medium is art and artists whose medium is technology. On February 22–24, 2024, ~40 people will create an art exhibit from scratch on the theme “Dethrone” at the Gray Area / Grand Theater in SF. The weekend ends with the one-night exhibit starting at 7pm on February 24, open to the public.

Gray Area has been kind enough to allow us to make use of their space and inventory for the entire weekend, and I can't wait to see what 40+ artists/hackers and a crack team of volunteers can do with it. If this seems up your alley, we'd love for you to fill out the application by 1/13! Otherwise, tickets for the exhibit opening will be released through the Gray Area website shortly.

One way or another, I hope I see you there! I attended AHD's last show in SF over a decade ago, and I'm so excited to be bringing the series back to a new community of creators.

Best,

-Rebecca

this sounds like a very cool project at a very cool space but....ummm...

...one cannot apply without a signed in​ google account to track everything being submitted.

a bit creepy for a project designed to support art challenging authority to require those same artists to submit a bunch of personal info to one of the greatest abusers of it.

any other options to apply?

Hi Zach,

Thanks for the feedback! I *think* I've updated this correctly, and you can now apply without logging into Google. Message me personally if it doesn't work, and I'll troubleshoot with you.

Best,
