[extropy-chat] Call for Artists for WTA Online Gallery

[Hughes, James J.]

> Why have the theme about dystopia and utopia for a

One of the six programs of the WTA (and IEET) is "Visions of Utopia and
Dystopia":

"The most common objections to a transhuman future come from science
fiction, from Frankenstein to Brave New World. Through the Visions of
Utopia and Dystopia program we seek to collect images of posthumanity
and non-human intelligence, positive, negative and neutral, and engage
culture critics, artists, writers, and filmmakers in exploring the
lessons to be derived from these cultural expressions."

This is one initiative within that program of work. 

My wife, also an artist, is also always complaining that something she's
seen has been done to death. But there are always audiences that haven't
seen/heard/discussed the topic, and new things to say about a topic. 

Hope you'll consider submitting something.
