Come join DorkbotPDX, people doing strange things with electricity,
for our inaugural event at Vendetta on June 24th at 5pm. If you're a
hacker, painter, engineer or sculpture, musician or maker you'll fit
right in. We bring together the tech and art worlds and enjoy it all
over a pint of beer. We'll have presentations and performances by
these fine folks:

Jason Plumb is a software engineer by day...hardware hacker, reverse
engineer, and experimental sound geek by night. He will provide an
overview of the Essential Reality P5 glove controller and explain how
it can be used with free and open-source software to create and
manipulate sound.

Jesse Fox studied music composition and physics at Bates College
before getting a Master's Degree from the Center for Computer Research
in Music and Acoustics at Stanford University. He will discuss his
involvement with the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR)
and describe the detailed technical recreation of George Antheil's
"Ballet Mecanique", which includes xylophones, bass drums, tam-tam,
pianists, electric bells, a siren, airplane propellers, and a volley
of player pianos.

Donald Delmar Davis, principal research anarchist at D3 Laboratories,
will overview the deconstruction of Arduino and Wiring platforms to
create artistic robot platforms with AVR microcontrollers. "AI Begins
With Self Destruction"
