We'll have donation jar out by the beer. ;) Eunsu Kang, Professor at DXARTS, will talk about media arts projects from students in her class, exhibited through this weekend at the DXARTS "In-Progress" show at the Sand Point Gallery. Projects include video installation, 3D processed sculpture, spatial sound art, site-specific sound art, multichannel audiovisual installation, stereo image sculpture, interactive audiovisual installation and more. * *Jon Malkin, PhD student in Linguistics will talk on the Vocal Joystick. In his own words: Consider the following SAT analogy: speech recognition:keyboard::______:mouse Lacking good technology for the blank, we created the Vocal Joystick. We can control a mouse pointer, our own drawing program, and even a robotic arm. Come hear how we do it and what it sounds like. http://ssli.ee.washington.edu/vj/ ************************** If you have a short announcement or something for "open dork" please let me know at shellyhivemind@gmail.com. As ever, special thanks to 911 Media Arts Center for providing such a great venue and friendly support for our monthly Dorkbot meetings.

Updated info below-- ************************************************************************************************************** WHAT: May 2008 Dorkbot: Projects from the UW WHEN: Weds, May 7th, 7:30 - 9:30pm WHERE: 911 Media, 402 9th Ave N. http://www.911media.org/ ADMISSION: FREE, ALL AGES AND SPECIES but bring a couple of bucks to support 911 Media! We'll have donation jar out by the beer. ;) Eunsu Kang, instructor of DXARTS 400 class at UW, will introduce media arts projects from students in her class, exhibited through last weekend at the DXARTS "In-Progress" show at the Sand Point Gallery. Projects include video installation, 3D processed sculpture, spatial sound art, site-specific sound art, multichannel audiovisual installation, stereo image sculpture, interactive audiovisual installation and more by by Julie Bruk, Anna Czoski, Mollie Fabric, Robert Gay, Kjell Hansen, Mijong Jang, Daren Keck, Amber Manuguid, Mike McCrea, Toby Mckes, Erik Parr, Nathan Wade and Alexis Egbert. Nathan Wade and Anna Czoskia, artists of the show will talk about their piece and relevant researches in DXARTS. ------------------------------------------- Serial Cyborg by Nathan Wade Nathan Wade is a second year Digital Arts and Experimental Media undergraduate. His focus is the intersection of Art and Technology; misappropriation of technology and scientific research to convey an artistic deviation, with emphasis on a persistent engagement with the user that reveals something about the individual, our environment, sociological construct or hidden systems. Serial Cyborg aims to misappropriate advanced medical reverse engineering technologies to elaborate on our default physical instantiation and passage through space as malleable data structures than can reveal hidden systems of emergence, informing us of subsystem and complex spacial interaction; the mundane motion serialized as memory, freezing systemic status' of physical reality at micro-second resolution and creating an over saturation of data containing position and status present in every waking second of particle reality. ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Dual Points of Interest by Anna Czoski Anna's interest center on creating inviting systems and spaces that explore augmented environments. Her research centers on emulative systems that explore the interconnection between us and the nature world. Dual Points of Interest is an exploration of how a projected animation can be grounded within a space. The animation morphs between a sky-space of imagined, geometric forms into the familiar night sky. The seating aims to allow a posture of contemplation, which is equivalent to how one views the starts. ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------- Jon Malkin, PhD student in Electrical Engineering will talk on the Vocal Joystick. In his own words: Consider the following SAT analogy: speech recognition:keyboard::______:mouse Lacking good technology for the blank, we created the Vocal Joystick.

The new week-long event will provide a new, exciting platform for creativity for different light mediums and much more.
