In/Out is an annual festival that features leading performers, developers, artists, and tinkerers of the digital design community, in hopes of bridging the gap between the forum based world and the stage. The festival seeks to bring digitally driven performances into the limelight with two full days of workshops and performances.

The Tank invites programmers, visualists, hardware hackers, electronics gurus, musicians, and novices to take part in the events of In/Out. With workshops to encourage others to join in the fray and inspiring performances, this is an opportunity for interested newcomers to get involved in a constantly changing field, and for current members of the community to step up their game.

This boundary pushing festival is produced by The Tank, a non-profit performing arts presenter located in Manhattan. The Tank also produces the legendary Bent and Blip festivals.

Performers
In/Out is searching for musicians, visualists, dancers, and performers who have integrated digital technologies into their work. From building custom controllers to creating their own software, or users of new technology, we want it! Submit a brief description of your performance along with a sample of your work. We would greatly appreciate proposal materials in the form of hyperlinks. Live performance videos are preferred.

Workshops + Lectures
Help motivate the vanguard by leading a workshop in new media for audio/video performance. Past workshops have included: working in Jitter, building drum machines in Reaktor, and code driven music composition with Processing. In/Out is especially interested in hands on, kit based, and introductory workshops.
Please submit a brief description to submissions@inoutfest.org of what you would like to teach or share, along with relevant work you have done, are doing, or will do in the field.
