OPEN CALL TO CLOTHING, JEWELRY, SHOE AND ACCESSORY DESIGNERS FOR HIGH-PROFILE FASHION SHOW AND AUCTION

The Institute for Accelerating Change is hosting a high-profile,
futurist themed, press-packed event on May 17th, 2003 in Los
Angeles. "Unite the Future" is the first public event providing a
forum to discover, celebrate, and understand cryonics,
transhumanism, the singularity, utopian, and increasingly human-
independent computational change. Celebrate free information
exchange, support the cause, express your vision of the future,
share your imagination, and unite with others in a very fun, very
future-friendly atmosphere.

The event's highlight is a "Futurist Fashion Carnival", blending the
best in a stunning mix of cyber-erotica, fetish and biomechanical
sci-fi fashion by top name area designers with the elegance of the
Los Angeles area's most prominent models in a choreographed stage
show. This cyber fashion show includes dancing, DJ's, bands,
entertainment, dancers, bar, and lightshow.  Multimedia events and
the distinctive promotion of a united future of ever-increasing
promise will be featured.

Currently, this event has more than a dozen confirmed journalists
representing press such as Wired, MTV, Time, LA Weekly, Maxim,
Bizarre, LA Times, local news television, and periodicals.

Future-inspired clothing, hairpieces, footwear and jewelry, and
accessories for the show and auction are currently being considered
and accepted. All items will be auctioned following the show. Spaces
are limited and filling fast, so please submit by or before April
25th deadline! Items not selected will be returned pre-paid postage.

The deadline to contact Wicked Talent with submissions is April
25th.  Articles are due by April 31st.

Headlining and producing the fashion show is worldwide fashion model

previously been featured in magazines, galleries, web sites, comics
and fashion catalogs. Fashions are being showcased on Los Angeles'
premiere models from the legendary Wicked Talent management firm
( www.wickedtalent.net ).



The Institute for Accelerating Change is a California 501(c)3 non-
profit (application pending) established in 2003. IAC is actively
helping people to realize the implications of and to prepare for
accelerating technological change. IAC accomplishes this through
conferences, newsletters, gatherings, reading groups, media
projects, educational programs, and our sense of community. IAC has
adopted this purpose because we believe increasing the overall
understanding of accelerating change improves the quality of choices
individuals make, and, in turn, the quality of choices that we make
as a community. 

Joining with IAC is Foresight Institute, a California 501(c)3 non-
profit organization dedicated to helping the world prepare for
molecular nanotechnology. Foresight Institute will receive a portion
of the proceeds from this event.
