rejon is Jon Phillips.

Yang Tao is revving up the ole DorkbotBJ that Deegan and Sleepy started in Beijing. The next event is Friday, July 24th, 2009 from 7:30 – 9:30. Here is some lovely text about the event and the presenters. I’m helping promote. Word has it that some Laoban 1.0 might make it over for the later part of the evening video and audio mixing. Sure, why not!

Here is more about Marula and Rez:

新的1期的dorkbot BJ的聚会将在大山子酒仙桥北路环铁艺术城 A-188 的marula和她的朋友们的工作室举行。之前他们想谈论关于processing的创作而目前我接到的邮件说他们正在设想1个不同的话题需要等2天。在7月24日的下午5点半开始将会有1辆mini bus 在 798门口等候截至的时间在7点在这个时间内不间断的运送我们的朋友们。

这个party的主要的演讲时间在晚上7点30到9点30 之后就是纯酒局了。。。。

The upcoming Dorkdot Bj meeting will be hosted in CORE Lab, Huan Tie art zone No. A-188, a new and unknown multimedia laboratory in Huantie where artists try out, develop, research and promulgate digital and audiovisual culture. Everyone with an interest in “doing strange things with electricity” [music, video art, software development, mechanical engineering, circuit bending, interactivity, anything...] is invited to come along and check out and participate in lively discussion. From the Core labs crew, Marula and Rez will talk about some projects that they are currently developing in this moment, and anyone can explain what they’re up to, show their projects, promoting related activities, requesting help or thinking about the next Dorkbot. Maybe Processing? Arduino?

On 24th July between 5:30 pm and 7 pm, a mini-bus will drive those waiting at the front door of 798 [front door = entrance N.2] (4th Rd of Jiu Xianqiao). The event starts at 7:30 pm and will go until 9:30 pm. After that, it’s totally drink time… have fun and also, for the most braves, we can go to the “outside” with the projector and the computers. Summer is even for geeks! [Don't forget the mosquito killer]

Ms. Marula is a VJ and visual effects artist. Rez is a New Media Artist.

UPDATE: You can track these events at Douban and Facebook (that is if you can get through the GFW!).
