The Good Life Lab
presented by Mikey Sklar & Wendy Tremayne
http://blog.holyscraphotsprings.com/
http://screwdecaf.cx/
Mikey & Wendy live in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico and have been
homesteading there for the last seven years. They produces their own
power, fuel, food, water and building materials. Mikey will be
explaining how a little bit of embedded hardware can empower anyone to
leave their day jobs and focus on the interests. Projects such as grease
car temperature displays, irrigation moisture monitors, pulsed LED
growlights, using machines to build with trash, fermentation controllers
and recovering different battery chemistries.
Mikey is a open hardware developer who has been selling kits and has
worked for Adafruit, Hack-a-Day, and Popular Science. This will be his
fifth dorkbot presentation.

Blending art, nature, and mechanics
presented by Stephanie Simek
http://stephaniesimek.com/
Stephanie will be speaking about some of her recent art projects
involving light, sound, and electrical components. She'll talk about her
interest with combining disparate materials and pushing the limits of
their inherent functional capabilities, like playfully incorporating
circuitry with handwriting and the movements of Venus Flytraps. She'll
also discuss her newest project, a crystal radio sculpture. Other topics
to be covered include: synchronized swimming, the Golden Record,
non-Newtonian lovers, and Cab Calloway.
Stephanie Simek has been living in Portland for 6 years, where she has
been creating experiments with sound, performance, and sculpture.
Throughout the month of June, Place Gallery will be exhibiting her most
recent project, Radio Room.
