I printed a hexpansion with a fidget spinner on it? I dunno, I don’t even use fidget spinners. I guess wanted to see if it worked! (It does!) #emfcamp#emf2024
EMF attendees, we'll have a downpour cabinet in the arcade, make a game, tag it with the right thing (to be determined, more info in the arcade on the weekend) and we can all play! #emfcamp#emf2024
Edit: I’m off to bed so this offer is done, thanks!
If anyone here would like to go to #emfcamp#emf2024 but can't afford a ticket, DM me; offer stands while there are still tickets on sale. (you'll need to get to/from Eastnor and BYO camping gear though, sorry) https://www.emfcamp.org
On the cool side, we have 30+ games going into the @emf arcade. On the time consuming side, I now have to write up notes for each one for the programme and to attach to each machine. #emf2024
That awkward thing where you find yourself explaining @emf to a good friend, realise half way through that he would probably love it, and be a good speaker, and that it's now too late to suggest he submit to the CFP, and then have to continue explaining what it is with his face lighting up "So when is it...?" "How do we get tickets?" whoops!!! #emf2024
We have a new shorts cinema showing a rolling programme throughout the festival and we think it will be a great way to showcase the generative art world.
If you have something short (~1-15 mins) you'd like shown, please email your name, a title and a link to:
Lots of fun just now closing an @emf round of talks/workshops, I want to see and do all the things! Such a varied and exciting programme shaping up for EMF attendees, I'm so excited. (If you submitted a talk or workshop, check your email!) #emfcamp#emf2024
In other news, I am very excited about the flow of talks, workshops, and other fun things coming into #EMF2024's CFP. We also have a fantastic team of reviewers the likes of which I have never seen in academia - the submissions that have been in the pipeline the longest so far have often had 10+ pairs of eyes reviewing each one! #EMFCamp
It took approx 29 seconds to sell out of our last batch of EMF tickets. So now your only hope is to submit a talk, workshop, or installation! Tell us about the cool stuff you do! https://www.emfcamp.org/cfp#EMF2024#EMFcamp@emf
