Sarah Angliss:
"A demo some of my latest work. I'm attempting to imbue non-figurative objects with minimal human animacy to create something that's uncanny but not obviously humanlike - and to find odd but intuitive couplings between everyday objects and music. A little bit about it here: http://www.sarahangliss.com/robots/trace"
Dave Green:
"An opendork about my Arduino MIDI 'fully programmable open hardware 8-bit keyboard… for less than £30' with new
features since London Maker Faire etc http://www.cheapsynth.com/"
Evan Raskob:
The Cross-Squawk project & making mechanical birds & class warfare.
Henry Cooke:
Faces in the Cloud is an automated experiment in machine pareidolia by Henry Cooke. Henry will be talking about how he ended up making it, the processes it uses and what edge-cases of computer perception can teach us about their and our perceptive systems.
Mike Harrison:
Something to do with "Acoustic levitation!"
And maybe more OpenDorks!
