hey hey

dorkbotlondon launches into may with space rockets and sound apps...


speakers (with apologies to ntk):

LEON BARKER will show us his project to shoot fm transmitters into the
sky, transmitting all the way until cloud zero.  Next on the launch pad
comes KATE RICH of http://bureauit.org, who we predict will outline
projects including the shooting of wireless microvideo into the sky.
Last but not least we have THOR of http://www.ixi-software.net/, showing
off the IXI PROJECT's startling range of uniquely strange yet highly
useable music interfaces - both hardware and (freely downloadable)
software.

We'll also be trying an OPENDORK session; some time for people who want
to get up and talk about something strange involving electricity for
five minutes.  Use the time to call for participants in your project, field
some
ideas about generative art theory, or show off your marmalade turbine.

Get onto Commercial Road and travel East from Aldgate or Whitechapel.
Keep going until you pass Limehouse DLR on your right (you go under the

right, then a pair of ESSO stations on either side of the street, then
the library with a statue of Clement Atlee in front of it, then you'll
