Please consider how your application might support or lead in one of our two themes, outlined below.<\/p>\n<p>Describe a project idea you want to try, the technologies you\u2019d like to get into, and\/or the skills you have to contribute to an already existing project. If you are an artist and do not have tech skills, that is OK. Conversely, if you are a programmer and don\u2019t have any compelling ideas, that is OK as well.<\/p>\n<p>If you have any special equipment you would like to contribute, we welcome you to tell us. When we receive your applications, we will match you up with others to help you achieve your ambitions.<\/p>\n<p>Each year we group people together around the most compelling proposals. This means your specific idea may not be selected, in which case we will try to find you a team and a project which matches your skills and interests. This is an ad-hoc process, and we can\u2019t always match everybody to teams, but we work hard to create aligned teams and have had great results from this process in the past.<\/p>\n<h2>Themed Areas<\/h2>\n<h3>1) Climate Change: Data &amp; Disinformation<\/h3>\n<p>How can data make climate change less abstract? Scientists warn that drastic and immediate action is necessary to avoid catastrophe. Studies show that most people support bold climate action, but don\u2019t place it as high on their list as near-term concerns, like jobs, healthcare and schooling. This themed area of Art-A-Hack&#x2122; Special Edition is tasked with exploring how climate data and its representations can move from abstraction to urgency.<\/p>\n<h3>2) Emotionally Intelligent Artificial Intelligence and Brain Computer Interfaces<\/h3>\n<p>Emotionally Intelligent Artificial Intelligence like IBM Watson and Google APIs are primarily text based. Brain Computer Interfaces (BCIs) deploy EEG signal readings to assess different brainwave states. This themed area of Art-A-Hack&#x2122; Special Edition is tasked with exploring the relationship of these two seemingly disparate systems to make the biophysical interact with the algorithmic.<\/p>\n<h2>Dates for your calendar<\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of scheduled dates to mark off in your calendars.
