*Morea About “Strange Things”:*



New and exciting genres of art emerge as artists, scientists and
technologists bring together their expertise to push the boundaries of what
is possible. Dorkbot-Seattle's annual exhibition, People Doing Strange
Things with Electricity, showcases innovative trends in contemporary art by
bringing together established and emerging artists who work with electricity
in a significant way either in their art or in its creation. This is the
fourth installment of "Strange Things"; previous shows have attracted in
excess of 1000 visitors.  For pictures from last years’ show, please see:

This year, in addition to showcasing works that in some way involve the use
of electricity, we are emphasizing *emergent communication:* pieces that
communicate with each other (and potentially the viewers and environment) in
novel ways, to create a larger system that's greater and more complex than
its individual parts.



The jury selected pieces from 18 regional artists.  Our focus on interactive
electronic projects encompasses a broad range of creative media: art that
borders the line between physical and digital art, digital art and
experimental media, kinetic sculpture, reactive sculpture, sound and light
installations, web-based art, ubiquitous computing...to name a few.
