We are curious, just like you. Because of this, we decided to bring those that inspire, move, and challenge us together to write, make, perform, and teach.

In/Out Fest is an annual event that features leading performers, developers, artists, and tinkerers of the digital design community. Creative minds huddled together to learn and share the secrets of computers. How to control them, make them do the things we dream, and hopefully stumble across some happy accidents along the way.

With the hope of bridging the gap between the forum-based world and the stage, In/Out seeks to bring digitally-driven performances into the limelight with two full days of workshops and live performances.

Our mission is to assemble some of the brightest minds and most captivating performers to teach, share, collaborate, and learn about the ever-changing technologies surrounding the multimedia world. We invite programmers, visual artists, hardware hackers, electronics gurus, musicians, novices, and (most importantly) the curious to take part in the events of In/Out. This is not only an opportunity for those newly interested in the constantly-changing field of digital media to get involved, but for current members of the community to step up their game as well.

We need your help to make it all possible! We are entering our 3rd year as a festival and are fantastically excited about it! Each year has been a growing success, and last year we became a 2-day festival with workshops during the day and performances from all over the world at night.

Your generous donations will contribute to the costs involved with producing the festival, such as: securing our venue space, compensating performers, and funding workshops! Every dollar is extremely helpful and greatly appreciated--plus, youll be rewarded with fun stuff! (see right.) Several pledge levels offer opportunities to get tickets to the festival! Check it out and show some love!

-----------------------------------

In/Out is a non-profit festival. We organize this event to bring the best minds and the most creative emerging technologies together, not to make money. All proceeds from tickets sales and our indiegogo campaign go directly to the artists, to help cover their time, travel expenses, and to show them a little bit of appreciation for sharing their vision with all of us. So they more money you help us raise, the more we will be able to give to the artists who are participating to say "thank you," and give them a little bit more to keep inspiring us all.

This year In/Out Fest will hold all workshops and lectures at Death By Audio, and performances will be only blocks away at The Knitting Factory. The dates of the festival are November 11th, 12th + 13th, 2011. Check www.inoutfest.org for up to date details and information.

Please join us for a time of sharing, learning, and experimenting in creating computer programs and designing control interfaces for audio and video performances. Let us rejoice in all things open source!
