Meeting this week will be in McGinty’s in the bar same as last time at 8pm. More news and ideas on the Time show and anything else of interest.
One of our newest members and a possible open dork candidate John has a meeting on in McGinty’s also on Tuesday with Professor Edzard Ernst speaking and we are all welcome, more information http://www.theoess.org.uk/
The next Get Together is tomorrow night (Tuesday, 13th April) in McGinty’s, Ipswich from 8pm - that’s opposite the library on Northgate Street. We’ll be upstairs in Ronnie’s Bar.
I’m hoping to show you a few things I’ve been thinking about, I was inspired by the Looking into the Past Flickr group and I have some thoughts of ways to extending the (de)construction projection that Tom and I had at the dark show.
Bring anything you’d like to talk about too - actually you’d better otherwise I’ll bring my most horrifying project ever… a hacked toy Kissing Frog from the new Disney film that now responses to tweeted kisses… you’ve been warned!
Cheers, hope to see you tomorrow,
Dave
Really nice article all about us from the East Anglian Daily Times:

Reflections in Cider by David Chatting is now installed in the window of McGinty’s, Ipswich.
The Empty Shop Revival Fund has been made available by central government to help reverse the decline of high streets in these recessionary times, so there is money available for installations to be made in disused shops and windows.
When in Boston a few years back Cefn and I saw a whole set of great tech-art shop window interactions - including Jeff Lieberman’s Slink, plus some solar creatures, video pieces and interactive displays. There have also been some very nice street based multitouch systems such as CityWall in Helsinki. All pretty ambitious but shows what can be done in these spaces.
Tom and I went to see the folk at Slack Space in Colchester in the summer - where artists had taken over empty shops for galleries and workshop spaces.
I think this is a very exciting initiative indeed and would like to discussing ideas if you’re interested too
Cheers,
Dave

John and Mike have been busy with their Horarum at St Mary’s Church, Debenham, for the Debenham Arts Festival.
Horarum is an audio installation in the church porch such that the audience listens to the sound of the church clock ticking picked up by microphones in the tower and relayed via computer to speakers in the porch.
It is open throughout the festival (9th to 12th July) - apart from Saturday afternoon when there is a wedding in the church, and on Sunday morning.
