"dorkbot :: people doing strange things with electricity"
dorkbot-nyc is a monthly gathering of artists, designers, engineers,
students and other interested parties who are involved in the creation of
electronic art, in the broadest sense of the term.
Usually hosted by the Columbia University Computer Music center (CMC),
dorkbot-nyc meetings are coordinated by Douglas Irving Repetto. This
month's presenters are Mikey Sklar, Andy Deck and Ben Woodeson.
Mikey Sklar :: electric clothing
Mikey Sklar, an electric-clothing hobbiest, will discuss four wearable
outfits he has developed over the last year. Materials used consist of
computer fans, LEDs, El Wire, Flat El, PIC microcontrollers, homebrew
PCBs, velcro and conductive thread.

Andy Deck ::
Andy Deck will present several examples of his software art, focusing on
online groupware image-making projects. He will discuss online
collaboration and the peculiar division of creativity that occurs
when artists write software for 'visiting artists' to use.

Ben Woodeson ::

consists of low tech experimentation into energy, magnetism,
electricity, and heat. Current research directions include

Through May 15
MUNTADAS: On Translation: On View
On View, a new work from On Translation Series, conceived and shot in
Japan, post-produced in New York at Location One, is a work about
viewing, looking…waiting… as contemporary rituals. Waiting in lines,
airport standby, museum audience, tourist photo opportunities…
Interrogations on where, when, why, who and what are part of the
intention of the work.
