We posted it to dorkbot blabber- but maybe you have some other email lists that my help us get the information out. Thanks in advance- maybe we'll see you tonight at the May day party! best Tina http://www.911media.org/workshops/arduino.pl Intro to Arduino and Physical Computing 4 Tuesdays May 27, June 3,10,17 6-9pm instructor - Per Nilsson member cost - $ 295 non member cost - $ 325 This Course will teach you the basics of physical interactivity using sensors, actuators and the open source hardware + software Arduino. arduino official site After completing the course you will be able to build objects that react to movement, touch, light changes, sound, or temperature. You will also learn how to connect Arduino to software like Flash, MAX/MSP, and Processing. This is a great class for anyone interested in interactivty, kinetics and robotics. Lab fee: 75.00 Dollars This fee covers your arduino board, simple sensors, wire and resisitors. Per NilssonPer Nilsson is a designer and photographer from Gavle, Sweden.

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. 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.

There also (used to be?) a store in that neighborhood that just made cables to order --- they'd probably have loose terminals available. Since that style of connector is pretty common, you could also find another connector somewhere, extract one of its contacts, and use it. Uncrimping the contact from the end of the wire probably won't work, you'll have to cut off a bit of its wire and splice it to the end of your wire. (Careful not to confuse it with the other really common, similar connector that connects to the standard 0.025" square pins on 0.100" centers. The connector it looks like you have is the slightly larger type, with 0.045" or 0.025" square pins on 0.156" centers. For some mysterious reason, the larger connectors are usually made with a white nylon-like plastic and the smaller ones with a black, crunchy (glass-filled?) plastic. Molex makes a huge variety of connectors but these are the common ones.)

Potter-Belmar Labs (a.k.a Jason Jay Stevens and Leslie Raymond) "are conductors of cinema, live-mixing audio and video, weaving sampled media and original work, cut-up and stitched back together, on the fly" which sounds like "doing strange things with electricity." They are on a West Coast tour and are in town this weekend--shows are 7:30 and 9 on Saturday and Sunday at Central Cinema (Union and 21st). I'll be there for at least one performance. See more below. Cheers. - Seth! -----Original Message----- The Fortune Tour is underway! Following a rooftop Bon Voyage performance in San Antonio, Potter-Belmar Labs brought their live cinema fortune-telling to the wonderful Roswell Artist-in-Residence Program. Both shows were spectacular! Next stop, the Verb Collective in Albuquerque, and on to the West Coast! Visit www.potterbelmar.org/now to view the trailer video, learn the fortunes of past audiences, and read more about the tour. And we hope you'll be able to make it to one of these upcoming shows: MAY 10 - Albuquerque: Basement Films at the Verb Collective MAY 13 - Venice: 7 Dudley Cinema MAY 15 - Los Angeles: Echo Park Film Center MAY 17 - San Francisco: Artist Television Access [with noteNdo] MAY 20 - Eugene: DIVA MAY 21 - Portland: Rotture [with noteNdo and Chris Kubick] MAY 24 & 25 - Seattle: Central Cinema MAY 29 - Oakland: 21 Grand [with Chris Kubick and Keith Evans] MAY 31 - Los Angeles: Materials & Applications The Fortune tour is made possible in part through Meet the Composer's MetLife Creative Connections program. --Potter-Belmar Labs www.potterbelmar.org From email at sethleary.com Sat May 24 15:51:16 2008 From: email at sethleary.com (Seth!
