Association Gallery<BR><BR>Many objections to technological progress cite
examples from dystopian<BR>fiction, from Frankenstein to Brave New World to
Gattaca. At the same<BR>time there is a long and broad tradition in the arts,
literature, music<BR>and film depicting technological progress in its full
complexity,<BR>envisioning societies as enriched by emerging technologies as
they are<BR>challenged by them. The curators of the World Transhumanist
Association<BR>Transhumanist Art Gallery would like to invite artistic
submissions for<BR>our upcoming online exhibition "Visions of Utopia and
Dystopia" which<BR>depict, evoke or engage images of humanity transformed by
emerging<BR>technologies. We will accept any artistic product that can be

poetry,<BR>short stories, photography, music, film, electronic games and
multi<BR>media. <BR><BR>Deadline for submissions will be January 30,
2006. There is no entry<BR>fee for submissions. Please submit an artist's
statement with your piece<BR>as well as a short biography. We intend to
have the exhibition open for<BR>viewing from February 15, 2006 to April 15,
2006. After April 15, 2006<BR>the work will remain in the online gallery, but in
the permanent<BR>collection rather than in the exhibition space. Please submit
