Proposals should include a brief description of the installation (less than 200 words), all equipment necessary to realize the installation, and any equipment the festival needs to provide. Please provide any diagrams and accompanying documentation that will aid in the review process. Presenters may submit one proposal. Accepted presenters are required to attend the festival.
