Interactivos?´16 Nuvem- Rural art and technology center: Water and Autonomy

Interactivos? is a collaborative laboratory for developing projects. This year, the theme of Interactivos? '16 is Water and Autonomy. Our intention is to study autonomous hydrology systems and encourage cross-disciplinary action between popular, scientific, technical and artistic knowledge to create solutions to water issues through a citizen perspective.

To do this, this edition of Interactivos? aims to host pran and animal consumption, and water intended for projects that propose experiments and solutions for the problems we face in dealing with water, such as scarcity and waste, drinking water for humother uses by different sectors of society: domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational activities.

We are interested in proposals that think the whole water cycle from the sources to the taps, and consider how it passes through different stages of capture, reservoirs, distribution, sanitation, reuse, water quality maintenance, security strategies for disaster relief and prevention of accidents in vulnerable populations. 

Five proposals will be selected to be developed during the 15-day period between October 29th and November 12th, at Nuvem - Rural Art and Technology Center. Each proposal will count with the support of up to 5 collaborators, who will also be selected by an open call. The call for collaborators will open after the proposal selection so that people interested in collaborating may choose which project to work on. Technical and theoretical orientation will be provided for all selected projects, and at the end of the residency each group will have to present a minimum viable product or prototype.

The deadline for submitting proposals is September 4 . Here you will find all the information.
