Announcing Art-A-Hack™ 2 - a collaborative creation between groups of artists/engineers, designers/makers, or whatever combination arises based on your project proposals.

The first year of Art-A-Hack included inventions, installations, collaborations, performances, which you can read about in the report and watch in the live-streamed video. This year promises more fantastic opportunities.

Are you interested in taking part? To apply now, please read the Open Call below and send your ideas to [email protected]. We really want to work with you!
The deadline for applications is Sunday May 3rd - early applications are appreciated.

Open Call

Art-A-Hack™ is an open call for artists and engineers, designers and makers - serious creative/technical shoot-for-the stars dreamers who would like to come together to make a BIG impact with some of the newest equipment on the planet.

Here's the deal: we will provide space for four Mondays (10am-6pm) in June, the equipment listed below (which you are free to use or not use), facilitation and advice, and stellar showcase opportunities.
We want to hear your ideas and will team you up with like-minded souls, blasting off into the stratosphere together.

During four Mondays (June 8, 15, 22 & 29) we will co-create at ThoughtWorks New York and other venues. There will be a pre-event social on the evening of Friday May 15th at a secret location, as well as a well-earned closing party to present your final work, chat, network and land back on the planet.

To apply, send your ideas now to [email protected]. Describe a project idea you want to try, the technologies you'd like to get into, or the skills you have to contribute. Please also include info about your background you would like us to know about.
