Dates 

Interactivos?’10 BH: High End Low Tech will open its international call for projects on September 1, to select proposals to participate of the workshop to be held in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, between November 21 and December 8, 2010.

Developed projects showcase will be open to the public from December 8 to 15, 2010. 

Call for Projects

The call will select up to 8 proposals –local, national and international– that develop and creatively apply simple and accessible technological resources in artistic and educational projects. Those interested may apply until September 30 through the online form available at: interactivos.marginalialab.com.

The event will provide materials and infrastructure necessary for the development of its selected proposals. Authors of the selected proposals that on’t live in Belo Horizonte will also get traveling tickets and lodging to participate of the two weeks workshop - to one member, in case the proposal is made by a group. The developing teams will be formed by volunteer collaborators, enrolled through a posterior international call, in an open and nterdisciplinary methodology of exchange.

Activities will be guided by tutors Fernando Rabelo (Brazil), Kiko Mayorga (Peru) and Arturo Castro (Spain) – artists and educators with internationally renowned works, connected with important projects in development in fields related to the event’s theme.

Interactivos?’10 BH: High End Low Tech will also include a seminar with the participation of the instructors and invited collaborators, as a way to present and discuss different approaches about the proposed theme. At the end of the production workshop, the achieved results will be shown in a one week exhibition, enabling its access to the public.

Conceived by the Spanish lab Medialab-Prado, the model for Interactivos? events has been replicated in different places around the world since 2006, forming a networked platform of initiatives related to this field. André Mintz, collaborador at Interactivos?'08 Lima: Magic and Technology workshop, sets up this workshop-seminar in Brazil for the first time in the country.
