Aldeburgh Music, Snape, Suffolk, UK. IP17 1SP

dorkbot anglia is a regular evening of talks and conversations with "people doing strange things with electricity" in the East Anglian area. We are delighted to announce our second meeting as the guests of Aldeburgh Music and Faster Than Sound at Snape on Thursday 16th September. Relive dorkbot anglia one here.

David Chatting and Angela McLellan of the Curiosity Collective, introduce:

  • Joana Seguro the devisor of Faster Than Sound and founder of Lumin will describe the groundbreaking electronics arts programme at Aldeburgh Music.
  • Cefn Hoile will present Enigmaker, where he built a project a week for a month. The details of each were published online, with the exception of what it's actually for - you had to guess before it was revealed! Just one of the projects Cefn completed touring Europe in his camper van.
  • Peter Miller, CEO of ITO World is rewiring personal transport with open-data and social media, he'll describe how people are using art and other social interventions to help this process.
  • Mike Challis is the creator of Lunula, an interactive sound installation using bioluminescence to create a light show. A story of sound, light and algae husbandry! Recently seen at the Faster Than Sound Re:Viewed showcase. Mike will also tell us all about his soundscapes made from taking long walks.
  • Plus, "OpenDork" a short ad-hoc slot for anyone to talk about their work - the floor is yours!

Tickets are £5, but entry is free for those who RSVP via Facebook, subscribers to the dorkbot anglia mailing-list and ticket holders to FTS: Brainwaves. Further booking details here.

For the sake of a little less carbon and the possibility of a beer, please consider car-sharing. A good place to offer or find a lift is on the Facebook event wall or over at the blabber mailing-list.

dorkbot encourages grassroots meetings of artists, engineers, designers, scientists, inventors and anyone else working under the very broad umbrella of electronic art. Started by Douglas Repetto at Columbia University in 2000, dorkbot is now global in almost 100 cities; dorkbot anglia is the newest.

Our intention is for dorkbot anglia to run every two or three months in a different town in the region. If you would like to participate or could offer a venue, please get in touch -
