dorkbot pittsburgh: January 24, 2008, 7:30-9:30pm

dorkbot pittsburgh meets upstairs at Brillobox, the event is open to the
general public, non-smoking, and admission is free. See Events for full
details and directions.

We have two speakers for this month:

Jennifer Gooch is a multimedia artist interested in our attempt to, and
inability to, connect. Interested in "mediated exchange" – how people
use technology and other means of mediation to interact – Gooch's work
often looks at mediation, the mediated, and the awkward space between.
She is currently working on her web and community based project,
onecoldhand.com, "a site for the collection and hopeful reunion of
Pittsburgh's dropped gloves." A banjo-toting singer from Dallas, Gooch
received her B.F.A. in Studio Art from the University of Texas at
Arlington and is currently a M.F.A. candidate in Studio Art at CMU.

Richard Tuttle joined the Plextronics team in July of 2007 and has been
working as a Formulator in the Inks & Applications group during that
time. He is a 2006 graduate of the University of Akron with a M.S. in
Physics. While at Akron, he was part of a research team that studied the
processing and applications of electrospun ceramic fibers. This team
researched the effect of variables such as humidity, temperature,
precursor concentration, collection procedure, voltage, and annealing
conditions on the formation of polymer/ceramic composite fibers.  He
also holds B.S in Physics from Muskingum College.
