Attention all Scientist Artists / Artist Scientists:  CALL FOR PROPOSALS

The Flux Factory, an artist collective and artist-run center in NYC along with the New York City Based artistic network  The Metric System, is currently accepting proposals for the collaborative based art show  Science Fair! Science Fair will be a collaborative effort that examines science based projects and concepts through the lens of art.  Artists will be encouraged to create their own Science Fair “booths” and experiments to be on display at the Fair. It is our hope to discover the potential for science as a breeding ground for art: a way to inform and inspire art as a springboard for creative thought.The Fair will showcase several projects including a room of kinetic/robotic sculptures, a gallery-space-as-fish tank, an artist-run weather station, and homemade hot air balloons. Science Fair will also feature workshops and panel discussions with scientists, artists, and other professionals.We invite you to apply with your best Hypotheses, Inventions, and Experiments.
