This year at SXSW Interactive the Plutopia Party will Focus on “Living Systems Theory.” We are looking for Art in all media that underscores the Integrated and Interconnected nature of all Living Systems from Biological and Cybernetic Organisms to Socio-cultural Networks and International Organizations. We seek to explore:

• The Biological Substrata of Technology
• Human Machine Interfaces
• Biological and Self-Perpetuating Living Art
• Viewer Interactive Experiences
• Reproduction and Recycling
• Holism and Emergence
• Convergence and Divergence
• Interdisciplinary Analysis
• Biological Metaphors for Technological Innovations
• From Fiber to Cyber
• Complexity and Reductionism

Artists are responsible for transport, installation, removal and sponsorship of their own art. Stipends are not available. Promotional space at the event for sales and artist info will be available. As an official SXSW Interactive After-Party we are offering an outstanding opportunity to display your art to the International Tech, Film and Music Communities.
