Call For Installation Proposals
The current round for submissions is now closed.
The Tumo Center for Creative Technologies is seeking proposals for
an installation project in the center's installation space and a
corresponding workshop in collaboration with Tumo students.
The purpose of the installation is to support Tumo's mission at
the intersection of technology and art, inspire our students
and staff, and educate workshop participants in the process.
One proposal will be selected. Participation is open to all creative thinkers and innovators including media professionals, artists, curators, architects, and urban planners. Proposals are evaluated on feasibility, artistic excellence, integration of technology, cost competitiveness, and the extent to which the workshop involves hands-on participation by Tumo students. The installation and workshop will be implemented during 2015.
Installation area specifications: 110 square meters with a height of 10.5 meters.

This should cover the main themes of the work and a plan regarding how you will engage Tumo’s students in this process. Please include supporting photos, videos, and links which further illustrate your vision.
The total budget for the installation and workshop is $20,000
including all materials, fees, and travel expenses.
