> Science Gallery is seeking proposals for its 2012 flagship  
> exhibition HACK THE CITY launching in June 2012. HACK THE CITY is  
> curated by Teresa Dillon - Lead Curator/Researcher & artist, Linda  
> Doyle - Director of CTVR, Josh Klein - TED Speaker and author of  
> Hacking Work, Martin Kelly - IBM Venture Capital Group and Michael  
> John Gorman - Director of Science Gallery.
>
> Currently more than half of the world’s population lives in towns  
> and cities. This trend is expected to continue. Between 2025-2030  
> of the approximate 8 billion people who will live in the world 5  
> billion will live in cities. Yet the majority of our city  
> infrastructures are based on inherited historical layouts and systems.
>
> Science Gallery’s 2012 flagship exhibition and festival HACK THE  
> CITY will rethink our cities from the ground up through the spirit  
> and philosophy of the hacker ethos - to bend, mash-up, tweak and  
> cannibalise our city systems, to create possibilities, illustrate  
> visionary thinking and demonstrate real-world examples for  
> sustainable urban futures. It will capitalize on Dublin city’s  
> history, legacy, population and infrastructure, transforming the  
> city itself into a nimble “playground” and live urban hack lab.
>
> The exhibition and events will explore hacking for good – the  
> repurposing of useful resources, the innovators who customise  
> existing tools for new uses and who purposefully challenge existing  
> hierarchies. What creative ways can we release untapped resources,  
> harnessing what maybe considered as by-products or waste, to create  
> alternative systems for public good?
>
> HACK THE CITY is Science Gallery’s major international exhibition  
> and festival for 2012 and a flagship programme of Dublin City of  
> Science. We are interested in receiving proposals for experiments,  
> exhibits and events, which go beyond Science Gallery in to the city  
> of Dublin and even connect multiple cities globally. Potential  
> venue partnerships include The Ark, Temple Bar, Dublin and  
> international partnerships with ZER01 in San Jose, California.
>
> Working with our international partners and local councils we will  
> be creating city zones, which will test potential new technologies,  
> creating situations for energy visualization, play, social  
> networking and communications.
>
> As a centrepiece in Dublin’s tenure as European City of Science  
> 2012, we are especially interested in submissions which utilise  
> Dublin’s position, geography and demographic – as the capital of a  
> small island, on the periphery of Europe, struggling to recover  
> from a post-economic boom and the European home for a number of key  
> multinational tech companies (IBM, Google, Facebook), innovators  
> and entrepreneurs. Drawing on this vibrant community we encourage  
> novel approaches to social and commercial ideas, which can be  
> piloted and prototyped during HACK THE CITY.
>
> The exhibition will include existing and proposed works,  
> innovations and inventions around the theme of HACK THE CITY. The  
> exhibition will extend beyond the gallery through workshops, labs,  
> events and off-site projects with Science Gallery becoming a hub  
> connecting difference city zones to mobile and online worlds.
>
> Alongside artworks, designed objects and documentary artefacts,  
> HACK THE CITY will encourage thinking differently about how we set  
> up new business products and services, which address our urban  
> demands, plus include special live performances, innovative  
> installations, unique physical and mental experiences, high-profile  
> talks, discussions and debates, web-focused interactions, games and  
> collaborative experiences.
>
> We are seeking proposals for:
>
> Installations
> Mass-participation experiments
> Events
> Performances
> New products/services/start-ups
> Workshops
> Apps
> Visualizations, maps and mashups
> Through our association with The Ark we are also interested in  
> proposals which cater directly to a younger audience. You can find  
> out more about The Ark's call, which is on the theme of  
> biodiversity herehttp://ark.ie/downloads/

>
> Suggested areas of focus include:
>
> Augmenting the City – submissions that repurpose the physical city  
> environs to allow a significant unique interaction with the  
> surrounding city landscape, including AR apps
> City based projects, objects and experiences in the areas of public  
> art / street art / community / new media, technology and design.
> Particular attention will be paid to projects that rethink and  
> recycle the slack spaces in the city, uncover subcultures, subvert  
> and reveal the architectural blueprint of the city itself.
> Projects which allow the city dweller to interact with and  
> interject into the city, both in terms of its systems and  
> infrastructure as well as it’s physical form.
> Particular attention will be paid to robust projects that have a  
> significant visual impact or presence in the city itself and are  
> designed to be economic with the available resources and tools.  
> These projects should also contain a significant element that can  
> be integrated into the Science Gallery exhibition space.
> We are particularly interested in receiving submissions, which are  
> Dublin specific as well as projects, which refer to the global  
> urban environment or connect different cities
> We are interested in projects that may have an element of longevity  
> that can exist beyond the time span of the exhibition itself.
> Urban experiments – submissions which utilize the infrastructure,  
> data and citizens of the city to carry out experiments
> Future of the City - submissions, which think broadly and diversely  
> about how we live in cities, support subversion and play and allow  
> our audience to experience live mappings of the dynamic city (flow  
> of energy, transport, capital and people) and gain new insights  
> into our future cities
> Playing with data - submissions for works, which connect data forms  
> and physically embody data streams, bridging ‘on’ and ‘off’ line  
> worlds.
> New business products and services – ideas which have commercial  
> viability and provide sustainable solutions for our urban needs,  
> including the use of open data, data mash ups and remixes
>
