This is a great social/networking opportunity for those interested in art and technology.
Dorkbot is a regular meeting of artists (sound/image/movement/whatever), hackers, designers, engineers, students and other interested parties who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the broadest sense of the term).
To quote from the dorkbot-nyc description, the purpose of this group is:
- give people doing strange things an opportunity for informal peer review
- establish a forum for the presentation of new art works/technology/software/hardware
- help establish relationships and foster collaboration between people with various backgrounds and interests
- give us all a chance to see the cool things that our neighbors are working on
imaginary presentation topics:
- a demo of the new motion tracking software you're writing
- playing a video you made
- an explanation of how you hacked your game boy to get it to make cool bleeping noises
- trouble shooting/brainstorming your remote-controlled sandwich making robot
- bringing in some dancers you're working with and having them demonstrate the interface used in your new mind-control ballet
- discussing your approach to electronic sculpture
even if you don't have a project in the works, stop by and get inspired by others!
