Machinista 2004

Machinista is an annual festival devoted to machines and art. There’s an online exhibition, live events, seminars and installations. Last year, the offline events were held in Moscow and Perm in the Urals, this year it’s Glasgow’s turn.

The organisers are after submissions for the following categories, in any media:

1. Art from the Machine: gleams of the inhuman

   Works created completely or mostly by a machine or an artificial intelligence system.

2. Artists Against Machinic Standards

   Breaking, destroying, hacking, unexpected (non-utilitarian?) usage of customary programs/devices as an art experiment.

3. Full-Screen Robovision

   Moving image works (experimental/scientific imaging, audiovisual code, short films, animation and VJ mixes) illustrating “the world as seen by machines”

The deadline is pretty tight - 28th February - but if you happen to have any art-making machines or art about machines lying around…
