Call for Proposals: SEAMLESS 2008
---------------------------------------------------------
The Museum of Science Boston will present the 3rd SEAMLESS: Computational
Couture in 2008. Co-produced by the Museum of Science, Christine Liu and
Amanda Parkes, the show will take place at the Museum of Science on
Wednesday, January 30, 8pm. This year the show will be a living exhibition
of fashion, an event combining the fun and glamour of a runway show with
the personal engagement of interactive installations.

We are looking for fashion design which pushes the boundaries of technology
-- computational & conceptual couture & wearables, fashion with a social
agenda concerning technology (although may not have embedded technology),
and fashion produced using algorithmic fabrication or innovative
manufacturing techniques.

Because of the exhibition format, it will also be
possible to show architectural textile installations, we are also open to
submissions in this category.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 5PM EST
You may also email with questions before the submission deadline.
