Dorkbot calendar: We are always looking for speakers for future meetings, and while it's now too late to add artists to our upcoming show, there will be more in future. We have tentative themes lined up, but we're always willing to accommodate interesting speakers who approach us.

Upcoming: Bio-dork, Dorkmusik, and plenty of space for wonderful ideas from YOU.

Welcome to dorkbot-sea, the Seattle-based outpost of the global dorkbot empire, a monthly meeting of artists (sound/image/movement/whatever), designers, engineers, students and other interested parties... who are involved in the creation of electronic art (in the broadest sense of the term.)

The purpose of dorkbot is to:

Give artists/programmers/engineers an opportunity for informal peer review
Establish a forum for the presentation of new artworks/technology/software/hardware
Help build relationships and foster collaboration between people with various backgrounds and interests
Give us all a chance to see the cool things that our neighbors are working on

dorkbot-sea meets on the first Wednesday of every month, and these meetings, their speakers and performers are announced both via these pages and our dorkbotsea mailing lists.

Watch overlord-in-chief Shelly Farnham talk about dorkbot, take a look at our previous meetings and sign up for our mailing lists or feeds (RSS or Atom). If you would like to speak at a future dorkbot meeting, or if you'd like to dj or perform music after the presentations, please let us know at dorkbotsea [@] dorkbot [.] org
