February Dorkbot
February Dorkbot
19 February | Pervasive Media Studio | 7pm
An informal skills swap and exchange event for ‘people who do interesting
things with electricity’. This months speakers will be talking about music
related subjects.
Mike Harris on D.R.O.I.D. (an event being held at Trinity and
simultaneously in Second Life on 23 February)
The aim of D.R.O.I.D is for two audiences, the physical and the digital,
to come together, meet each other, interact, and know each other. How many
technophobes out there have never spoken to their virtual brothers and
sisters? How many of the new-wired generation have never left the confines
of their virtual reality interfaces to interact with the rest of us?
Greater understanding is what we seek, together we shall stand, shoulder
to digitized shoulder….
Nat Gavin on Circuit Bending
Circuit bending is the creative short-circuiting of devices such as low
voltage, battery-powered guitar effects, children’s toys and small
synthesizers to create new musical instruments and sound generators. Bring
a toy which makes an electronic sound to dismantle and indulge in some
sonic invention…
Please note – from this month Dorkbot will be held at our new home at the
Pervasive Media Studio in Anchor Square (above Firehouse Rotisserie).
