*CALL FOR PARTICIPATION*

That's right, after a long winter slumber, Ask the Robot will 
rise again this June with a "Robot Revival!" Look deep into your 
mechanized being and ask yourself: Who is the Robot? And what is His 
role in my life?

ASK THE ROBOT is a platform that gives artists working within 
and across different media a chance to present their work on an open 
stage. Whether you use your body, your voice, or strange technical 
gadgets to perform – all analog, digital and just plain human media are 
welcome!

To submit a PERFORMANCE, VIDEO, INSTALLATION, or WRITTEN PIECE, 
read the guidelines below. Don’t have a piece to include? Still eager 
to participate? We welcome and encourage volunteering as well:

*CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS*

Remember that the Robot needs YOU!
ASK THE ROBOT gives artists a chance to present their work on an 
open stage. And we couldn’t provide this without a small army 
of volunteers like you.

In exchange for your commitment to the Robot you will receive a 
listing in our program, a mention on our website, including a link to 
your website/portfolio if you so desire, valuable experience in 
the logistics of hosting multi-media performance and installation work, 
and the warm and fuzzy feelings that come from volunteering.

We need a photographer, a videographer, lighting and sound people, 
and people who are happy to help set up the video, installation, 
and performance areas.

To volunteer contact: megatron at nyu.edu
Please include your name, contact info, and the position you 
are interested in.
