NEXT DORKBOT DC MEETING!!!!

Provisions Library
Suite 200
1611 Connecticut Ave. NW
Washington, DC 20009
(above Ann Taylor Loft, near Dupont Circle Metro station)
Speakers:
Gail Scott White and Kirby Malone: "Live Movies"
White and Malone are the artistic directors of Cyburbia Productions,
and the co-founders of the Multimedia Performance Studio in the
Department of Art and Visual Technology at GMU. Their work focuses on
the collaborative creation of "live movies," syntheses of cinema,
theater and music that employ digital projection, sound technologies,
and filmic narrative techniques to construct moving stage pictures and
sonic theater, in which live actors interact with animated performers,
and emerge from or vanish into projected environments, settings and
dreamscapes.
Thomas Edwards: "Introduction to the Arduino"
Hardware artist Thomas Edwards presents a "Hello World" style
introduction to the Arduino, an inexpensive open-source physical
computing platform. Based on the Atmel ATmega processor, the board is
programmed using a simple language which makes it easy to access its
digital and analog I/O systems. He will also invite participation in
the "PHY2PHY" project to connect physical systems over IP.
"Open Dork": Do you have a project you'd like to give a 5 minute
description of at the meeting? Email dorkbotdc@dorkbot.org to reserve
your "Open Dork" time!
"After Dork": Feel like a drink and/or a chat with other Dorkbotters?
Unofficially follow some of us across the street to the Childe Harold
after the meeting.
