OPEN LAB 2.0 - JUNE 12th 7-10pm @ 911

[Joseph Gray]

Hello All,

The lovely theatre at 911 media arts center will be available for the 
second open lab this coming Sunday for continued experiments in sound 
and image.   All are welcome to bring down whatever equipment, toys, 
themselves, others Etc. and make stuff happen.  911 has nice speakers 
and audio mixer, a projector and a video mixer.  Come on down and plug 
and play, and remember: no holds barred.

Open Lab is an open forum for artists of all disciplines to get 
together, jam out, share ideas and come up with new ones.  It is 
primarily geared toward electronic based arts, but all types of 
creative minds are welcome.

The last event was quite a success, with about 10 people in all 
plugging gear together in ways the gear had probably never thought 
possible (not to mention the people using them!) It would be nice this 
time to get some documentation of this awesome mush, so anyone who 
wants to record audio or video, take photos or even write down some 
notes by hand: please do!

Also our official motto was discovered: "WE NEED MORE GEAR!" which is 
best stated in some kind of ecstatic electro-art frenzy eyes glazed 
over and so forth while plugging cables quasi-randomly into things.

Heather Oaksen (one of the founders of 911) has mentioned that 911 will 
be doing a big bash late September at the old Naval Armoury on the 
south end of Lake Union (big white and blue building, awesome 
structure).  As Open Lab evolves it could be very possible that we can 
develop some video and audio installation stuff there for that event.

Also a certain composer newly transplanted from NYC mentioned a regular 
event called SHARE, which is an excellent model for Open Lab, and 
proves the model as valid ;)

As last time a donation to 911 would be really nice of you.  As Open 
Lab becomes more well known the donation will be $4, and free for 911 
Members.  However, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Hope to see you all there,
