Hi Anton, thanks for your awesome words. We now have a much better ability to show you what we will be exhibiting, the piece debuted to great success at last weeks KiezBurn the burning man of Berlin. I'd love to send you a video link which I'll also post publicly in a few days. As I've mentioned in the updated post, other conferences have already requested it...you can read that new part in the project goals section. You can also contact me in the discord as Vuuleo. Thanks.

And also we definitely have space for both visual displays and some possible live performance and readings/screenings.

Budget Outline for a 20 piece art exhibtion:
22€ per 50 x 40 cm Poster prints
48€ per A3 (42 x 30 cm) Canvas prints
50€ (5-20€ for 50 cards + printing costs) Info cards
20€ Adhesive tape, nails, misc. office supplies
50€ basic prints
—
Working with a target of 20 artworks this brings us to either
562 € for poster prints
1082 € for canvas prints
This roughly translates to 650-1200 $Bonus Budget
additional 500-1000€ for camera and interview setup
@ingvild_syntropia would bring her experience with film, art, and documentaries to create a video from interviewing the artists

Finally have some more info...here's our general call for submissions which gives you an idea of what it may look like...followed by a budget:
CALL FOR ART SUBMISSIONS (to be shared individually with creatives we know, for now)The EAGxBerlin conference will bring 750 people together to discuss innovations in altruistic work. EA has been pioneering new ways to more effectively do work in the fields of charity as well as thinking about how to save humanity from existential risks so we can flourish into the far future.As part of the conference we are making an open call for visual* and audio** art works for the conference being held at Urania, a historically rich Science & Culture Center, in Berlin.We are looking to curate artworks that would fit one or two of the following themes***:
A) Future Visions
What is your vision for the future? We want to see your Utopias, Protopias, or Dystopias. Do you see thriving civilization(s) past the Precipice? Solarpunk showing sustainable civilization, Transhumanism depicting life’s many potentials, or AI overlord(s) ushering in the Singularity (to name some starting points).B) Doing Good + Inspiration
We would love to see pieces that inspire us to do Good. Themes could include Moral Circle Expansion, Altruism, (Human) Connection, Heroic Actions, Beauty, …* For digital art pieces we are aiming to offer high quality poster prints or canvas prints.** We are in conversation with the organizers and are requesting slots in the program. If we get these, we can facilitate audio art and performances. Otherwise the art would need to be reduced to visual and written pieces (distributed among the venue), to not disrupt from the conversations and talks happening throughout the conference.*** These 2 themes are something we are excited about right now. If you think you have something that doesn’t fit the themes, but would fit the event or the spirit of the call please submit your ideas!Please submit your ideas till 21. August!How to submit your ideas or get in contact for questions:
Email to: aronmill1992@gmail.com
Subject Line: EAGxBerlin 2023 - Art SubmissionAll the best,
Aron & Team Ps.: for a simple chat get in touch via EA Anywhere Slack! (edited)

Hi Anton, It's actually challenging to curate art for an event like this, there are obvious EA themes, there are general altruistic themes and the specific them of the Berlin event, then there's just general art that makes the atmosphere better. And then there's just the reality of being able to get your hands on what you can get and what you can afford to get and mount. So we are still working on that and so don't know what we can get and therefore what budget we'll need to mount it.
Our working group leader in Berlin is friends with the EAGx Berlin organizing team and asked them for funding, and they said they would love to, but their budget was really tight so they were not able to...maybe it if it could have been written in earlier, that would have been better, but this initiative came around later.
So our working group just formed last week and we are really very late in the process so I'll keep things updated here and try to flesh out an actual budget asap...and maybe you and Austin and any others might mention a range you'd be willing to provide, and that could help us make concrete decisions and lead to an actual budget. Thanks.

Hi Austin :)
We are working on that, we just formed the working team. It will be a combination of a theme we choose as a team, and also part of it will be what is available in Berlin to avoid costs of shipping pieces...and depending on what you hope for, it could be in different mediums which will affect how it's displayed...so there's a lot to it...also we hope maybe it's mixed mediums with more than visual...so our next meeting soon we'll have to make some decisions. We'd love anyone who reads this like you to make suggestions if you have them, especially if you know artists in Berlin. Luckily Berlin's a very artistic city :)
