************** CALL FOR PARTICIPATION ***************

We are particularly interested in work that looks at
the relationship between 
PROGRAMMING and HUMAN BEHAVIOR.
Here's the question: even on an open stage, are we
free to perform as we like? To what extent is our
behavior programmed? are our thought processes coded?

Any live act that is able to make us laugh/cry/fume
with anger is considered an investigation of the ways
in which we are programmed to respond, and will be
welcomed to the stage. Whether you use your body, your
voice, or strange technical gadgets to perform – all
analog, digital and just plain human media are
welcome!

If you have a LIVE ACT, ORIGINAL VIDEO/AUDIO, or
WRITTEN WORK that you would like to present, see the
submission guidelines below and contact us at
programmed at asktherobot.info

Video/Audio: submit your video to the Codeck to the
