dorkbot NYC – April 2005

April 6, 2005The seven million twelfth dorkbot-nyc meeting took place on Wednesday, April 6th, 2005, 7pm.It featured the lovely and talented:

Daniel Greenfield: Little Disasters”Little Disasters” is a series of miniature reenactments of accidents and acts of sabotage. The scenes, which draw inspiration from reality disaster programs and media accounts of current wars, are played out in either a pre-scripted sequence, or are influenced by audience participation, and videotaped. The Dorkbot presentation includes live demonstrations of several dioramas.http://www.inkdropinc.com/four/art/balloon.htm
Mike Rosenthal: The Travelling Sound Museum and Other Works in ProgressA look and listen to three sound sculptures that are currently in development. I will show slides of the works, play some audio examples, show a video of one in action, and bring in an ancient sound jar containing rare snippets of sound from the year 1643! I will also give away my idea for a traveling sound museum absolutely free. Each of the works deals with the visual properties of sounds and the ways in which we interact with audio in a gallery setting.http://www.tempaural.net
