Readme 100 software art factory presents

Open Call for Proposals
Get your Software Art Piece Done for Free
OUTSOURCE ME!
http://outsource.solaas.com.ar

Have you ever dreamt of having a piece of software art (1) you could
call truly yours? Or had the feeling that most media art is dull, and
that you could do it better? Or had a marvelous idea you could not
realize for lack of time, commitment or expertise? Well, your chance has
come.

No need to mess around with abstruse programs or bother with dreary
code. The world is full of people willing to do the hard work for you.
That’s what outsourcing is about.  Those are the rules of the global
electronic market.

It doesn’t cost much. Actually, just for this time it will cost you
nothing.

Leonardo Solaas, an Argentinean programmer and net artist, suggests
reversing the rules: only once it is not the programmer who is chosen by
the employer but it is the employer who is chosen by the programmer. He
is looking for someone to tell him what to do, thus himself outsourcing
the task of getting an idea. Submit yours! Become his boss! Submit your
ideas at http://outsource.solaas.com.ar till October 3rd, and you could
be the lucky winner of a possibility to implement YOUR piece of software
art. 
If Leonardo chooses your concept, he will become your outsourced
Contractor for this work, and you will be his Employer. 

You could learn about Leonardo’s skills and interests (at
http://solaas.com.ar/outsource/leonardo) to figure out whether your
proposal would fit his experience. 

All this is made possible by Readme 100 Temporary Software Art Factory
(2) (a.k.a. the MetaEmployer). The resulting piece will be presented at
a festival taking place on November 4-5, 2005, in the State and City
Library of Dortmund, Germany. _____________________________
