CALL FOR EXISTING WORKS

Make It Yourself is an exhibition of inventive Arduino and DIY
electronic-circuitry projects to accompany the major solo exhibition
Recorders by Rafael Lozano-Hemmer at Manchester Art Gallery between 18
September 2010 and 30 January 2011.

A rapidly expanding community of people worldwide is taking advantage of
new, cheaper technology and a growing pool of shared knowledge to make
things for themselves - useful things, clever things, silly things,
unique things. Make It Yourself is a ‘small but perfectly formed’ show
of a handpicked half-dozen of these hand-made devices.

We are now accepting submissions of existing Arduino and DIY
electronic-circuitry projects from artists, hobbyists, hackers, DIY
musicians and anyone interested in making things for themselves wishing
to exhibit their work as part of Make It Yourself.

We are looking for pieces that reveal and demonstrate:

    * unique devices born out of imagination or happy accident
    * how everyday artifacts actually work
    * custom-made tools born out of a frustration that nothing else
quite does the job
    * modified consumer products that now do something their
manufacturers never conceived of

Overall we are looking for inventive projects that demonstrate a wide
range of function and form, simplicity and complexity, humour and intent.

We expect creators of selected works to provide a project ‘info pack’ of
design schematics, component lists, code and step-by-step assembly
instructions.
