What is a "dorkbot"?! The idea of the international dorkbot network is "people doing strange things with electricity" and meeting in informal, friendly environments to discuss their projects. These projects could include hardware hacks, New Media Art projects, creative code, circuit bent musical instruments or wild DIY garage science!

Mark Beasley and Tamas Kemenczy @ dorkbot Chicago!
This Thursday @ dorkbot Chicago, Mark Beasley and Tamas Kemenczy will explain how they hack into and bend old-skool CRT (cathode ray tube) computer monitors using Arduino microcontrollers! Beasley and Kemenczy recently collaborated in the MAGIC MATRIX MIXER MOUNTAIN event @ Lampo in Chicago, using their bent and hacked CRT and microcontroller techniques to break back into the beige days and reprogram CRT consciousness!
Mark Beasley is an artist/educator making software, video, performance and web art.
