R3-b00t, R3-LAUNCH

27 May | 7pm - 10pm | Pervasive Media Studio

Whether you are an artist, filmmaker, scientist, programmer, or you’re just interested in doing strange things with electricity…you are invited to the re-launch of Dorkbot Bristol, on 27th May 2008 at the Pervasive Media Studio, above Firehouse Rotisserie in Anchor Square and also live on the Internet via the wonders of video streaming.

This month’s Dorkbot, ‘Musicalia: had Rakhmaninov been a computer programmer…‘, is a focus on music technology and kicks off at 7pm with a line up of musical extravaganza.

STOP PRESS: We are looking for contributors and themes for forthcoming Dorkbots and look forward to hearing from anyone who is interested in getting involved.

Dorkbot aims to be informal and friendly and the night looks to offer a hands-on approach with the opportunity to play interesting instruments and take in a performance or two. So come along to find out more about:

• The Theremin, with Alexander Thomas with a performance, the body capacitance as a music control and talk about 60’s instrument technology.
• Ray Brooks who will be taking a look at open source music software and giving an insight into how he creates tunes and the potential of Pure Data.
• The Astronaut Show, Rachel Carney & Co, will demonstrate the exciting 128 Monome, cult indie controller that’s takes home grown technology to new heights
• …and much more, including drinks…

The night will continue on at Las Iguanas, situated across from the Pervasive Media Studio for those who don’t want to go home early!

So if you haven’t yet been to the Pervasive Media Studio, this is a great opportunity to see Dorkbot’s new home and hear about other exciting projects coming from Bristol and surrounding areas.
