This Monday is the dealine for DIY 10 proposals. Get yours in now!

DIY is an opportunity for artists working in Live Art to conceive and run 
unusual training and professional development projects for other 
artists. Platform’s call is for “Live Art, performance as protest and the 
online element.”

Platform invites proposals that look at performance and protest via the 
internet. Many artists make work with an online element. Protest art often 
takes place via the internet. What approaches might artists want to explore 
for this kind of work? What questions does this raise for artists and 
groups making art interventions around where they situate their work, how 
they reach new audiences, the potential of the web to add a new layer to 
their performances, and the impact taking place online has on the work? 
We’re open to proposals from artists, activists, social media geeks, video 
editors…anyone who wants to propose a project that looks at live art and 
protest with an online element. Proposal-makers might want to refer to the live 
streaming of Marina<http://www.moma.org/explore/inside_out/2010/03/15/live-streaming-marina-abramovic-crazy-or-brave/>
