Exploratorium has a call for artists out for 2nd Skin, our wearable computing event and exhibition. The deadline is a rapidly approaching Feb 29th. They are doing well with fashion submissions, but need more wearable computing and innovative apparel technology – the Make kinda stuff. The focus is on local artists, although we can accept shipped works as well.
