********************************************************************************************************************

For this year's People Doing Strange Things with Elecricity 4 we are
inviting artists to create and collaborate on works that explore the theme
"Emergent Communication." Artists are encouraged (but not required) to work
in groups to build 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.

Please see call for proposals (due march 7th) at
http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/events/pdstwe4/callforartists.shtml

At this Dorkbot meeting we will be exploring potential communication
protocols to incorporate into the art exhibit.  We will have a brief
presentation about what is a communication protocol with a few examples, and
then break out into brainstorming teams to come up with ideas for
communication protocols.  If you have ideas, or even examples, of
communication protocols you believe may work, bring them!

If you want to be involved in any way in the Dorkbot art show (as artist or
volunteer), want ideas for doing a project, are interested in finding
collaboration partners, or want to help shape the "emergent communication"
theme, this is the Dorkbot meeting for you!

****************************

As ever, special thanks to 911 Media Arts Center for providing such a great
venue and friendly support for our monthly Dorkbot meetings.

If you have questions, announcements, or something to say during "open dork"
(five min or less) please email shellyhivemind at gmail.com to get on the
schedule.

See you on Wednesday, Feb 4th!
