- Its possibility index groups submissions into kinetic, tactile, reactive, and unclassified experiments; the open-call closing date is still to be confirmed.
Field notes
The invitation is organized around a four-part possibility index: moving mechanisms, interactive objects, responsive work, and projects that resist categories. It explicitly welcomes people who do not call themselves makers and says ideas need not be fully formed. The FAQ raises practical questions about eligibility, technical experience, teams, and project support, while the supplied extract does not show the answers; the closing date remains unconfirmed.
