[Metalab] Local Androids: MQ Artists in Residence in February

[Marius Kintel]

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..

> 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!!
