technologists bring together their expertise to push the boundaries of what is
possible. <A href="http://dorkbot.org/dorkbotsea/" target=_blank>Dorkbot-sea

innovative trends in modern art by bringing together established and emerging
artists who work with electricity in a significant way either in their art, or
in its creation. </DIV>

NOSEND="1"> This year, in addition to showcasing works that in some way involve
the use of electricity, we are emphasizing interactivity: art installations that
interact with the environment, with participant observers, and with other
installations. " <A

target=_blank>Strange Things</A>" that pique curiosity and inspire a desire to
touch. The Dorkbot Overlord Committee, with guest juror Misha Neininger,
Executive Director of <A href="http://911media.org/" target=_blank>911 Media
Arts Center</A>, selected over 25 pieces from 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. </P>
