Calling all artists, educators, engineers and copyleft interventionists:

The Art Interface Device (AID) is a microprocessor platform for building
electronic installation art. It is a device that allows artists to
process a variety of inputs and outputs for use in interactive
installation and performance artworks.

All are invited to attend the an information session about the Art
Interface Device on Thursday, January 24 2002 at 7 PM, EST. The meeting
will be held at InterAccess, which is located at 401 Richmond St. W,
Suite 444, Toronto, Canada. We are very interested in having remote
participants involved in this project. You can join our meeting via the
iVisit conferencing software. Get the set-up and timezone details at:

The associated AID web site will serve as a library of "worked"
solutions to common electronic sensing, control, and interfacing
requirements. From this site the AID user community can download and
contribute instructions, parts lists, circuit diagrams, and other
information relevant to the creation of electronic art.

The AID system will be distributed under the General Public License and
developed by the AID user community - that means you!

This information session will present the AID concept, recruit people
interested in creating, developing, and using this tool, and initiate
the project production cycle.

AID is a project of InterAccess - electronic media arts centre, and is
funded by the Canada Council.
