_Media Lab Melbourne :: Sprint #2: Unconstrained_Â _Call for projects closes 12 December 2011_Â
Technological frontiers have expanded beyond the ability of an individual to comprehend their complexity. Yet, these frontiers permeate our everyday experiences. How does your smartphone function? How was your toaster made? What tools do you use to earn money? How many different forms of communication do you experience in one day? How well do YOU understand the technology in your life? How well do you need to? Media Lab Melbourne is seeking proposals for devices or services as statements on the complexity of our everyday technology and systems. Successful applications will work with Media Lab Melbourne and collaborators to realise these proposals during a sprint over 9 days beginning on the 21st of January 2012.  As this is a collaborative sprint it is not important what skills you have but how effective your idea is!  Media Lab Melbourne will support projects with technical and production support. Should a person live interstate and wish to attend, we are also able to provide basic travel and accommodation for the duration of the sprint.  Selected participants will be notified on the 16th of December.  At this point there will be a second call for collaborators to assist in the creation of the selected projects. Applicants who are not selected in the initial call are welcome to participate as collaborators.Â
