Curiosity Collective

On Monday night Cefn and I went down to London to go to the dorkbotlondon February meeting and we had a really fun time!

There were probably sixty-odd people packed into an old factory not so far from Liverpool Street and we had three main speakers: Dave Griffiths (with fluxus and fastbreeder),  Tom Carden (with processing hacks and his very cool travel time tube map) and Wojciech Kosma (making art for the PSP).

There were then a bunch of “opendorks” (think open mic), including a guy talking about RFID readers and Simon Green talked about doing strange things with nvidia graphic cards.

Then Cefn took the stage and gave an overview of the Curiosity Collective - including a mime of the handcar interaction! I showed the twisted map. We had really postive reaction - which was really encouraging.

We got to hear about a bunch of interesting events too:

NODE.London is an enormous tech-art season across London in March. As part of this there’s dorkfest which I think we should think about showing at - that’s 18th & 19th March (a weekend).

The openstreetmap people are planning to map the Isle of Wight in a weekend in the Spring - which sounds like a lot of fun!

Cheers,
Dave
