[dorkbotpdx-blabber] It is Art! Dorkbot at ON Gallery

[Benjamin Foote]

Hi All,

Thanks for the mention and the kind words.

Fellow Dorkboter extrordinaire Simran Gleason will be showing at ON Gallery
in April opening this coming First Thursday April 2nd.
http://ongallery.org/location.cgi

Hi 'ambient interactive' piece "Haunted Garden" is something I'm very
excited about.  I hope you are too.

Simran and I are already discussing events for April and a Dorkbot social
(maybe a figure drawing class??) is on that short list.  More info to
follow!

I'd love to show Dorkbot.  One of my favorite things from last year was the
gallery's OSCON booth which several of you participated in.

October is open at the moment, which is actually a really good month.  The
first couple weeks are usually dry and it's dark enough outside in the
evening that the windows really pop to draw folks in.  I envision a call for
participants over the summer and final work needing to be ready to go by
early September (a very busy time with TBA and musicfest and whatnot) and
then we'd put the show together.

Let's keep this conversation going.

Cheers,

ben
