BoingBoing pointed me today towards dorkbot! – People doing strange things with electricity. They have a Toronto Franchise , and this mash up of technology and art is pretty strange but cool. I am going to have to check it out.
The next dorkbot! Toronto is happening Thursday, January 26, 7pm at InterAccess Electronic Media Arts Centre . I might have to just check it out. Past presentations include TorCamp attendee Jonathan Resnick with the MyDokiDoki project, which he demoed at our first DemoCamp (the next one is January 24 , 6:30pm at the RadiantCore offices).
Tonight is the first Hacktivism, a free demonstration, at the YYZ Artist Outlet , 401 Richmond Street West, Suit 140 .
