Hello Dorkbot!
ON Gallery and Makerlab has a 10 x 20 booth at OSCON in the exhibitors hall next week and we'd like to invite folks from Dorkbot to show off Arduino projects.
Paige or Anselm might have mentioned ON to some of you. We're a new gallery in the Everett Station Lofts devoted to interactive and technology based art.
http://ONgallery.org (not much there - feel free to drop by and check out the space)
Specific pieces for the show include
a) an aggregation and display of images using flickr tags oscon08, oscon and using image matching technology developed by Makerlab
b) the projection portions of WHEREIS which will open at Disject this Saturday July 19th
http://makerlab.com/projects_show_whereis.html
c) large scale video projection by Drew Anderson
I'd love to add Dorkbot and some of the Arduino projects to that list. I really want to give visitors to Portland and OSCON a sense of all the excellent work that is going on here in Portland.
The schedule for the OSCON booth...
Tues 2pm - 6pm install, setup booth
Wed 10am - 7:30pm exhibit hall is open
Thu 10am - 5pm exhibit hall is open
It would be preferable to have any pieces (Arduinos) available for the Tuesday install, though an early drop off on Wednesday could be workable.
Also we're looking for some volunteer support for the conference. Basically just hanging out for a few hours and being amiable and talking to people about Dorkbot, Arduinos, ON Gallery and Makerlab and art and things that we might do together for art's sake.
The booth will be issued a conference pass which can be lent out and I hope volunteers will want to use it for select talks and topics.

Please do contact me ASAP if you are interested in participating.
Cheers,

I'm including the gallery's most recent press release below to give you just a little sense of what's going on.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ON Gallery opens in the Everett Station Lofts with "Departure":
illustration, large format videography and video conference by artist Drew Anderson.
About "Departure"
Oregon artist Drew Anderson shows a vast body of his work in his Departure show. A long time resident, Drew has shown throughout Portland for the past decade. Here we showcase a variety of his recent work, from intricate weaves of ink on both paper and antique cabinet cards, to original block cuts.
A new series entitled Buy My Sketchbook (http://www.buymysketchbook.com), which has recently been on display in London and Tokyo, will be viewed as a large-scale projection.
Despite his recent move to Brooklyn NY, the artist will be present
virtually via video conference, and ready to answer any questions.
This show will be an exciting exploration of imagination and whimsy, and may be the last we see of this artist for some time.

Hi,
I'm Stanley Ames. Well, I don't really know if it counts as an "arduino project" per se but I do have a project with an Arduino in it. I've got a RepStrap machine that I wouldn't mind standing around and talking about...or anything else for that matter. Count me in.
I'd also like to volunteer. That, I think, would be pretty awesome. Definitely count me in on that!

"...the individual condition of each of us is tragic. Each of us is alone: sometimes we escape from solitariness, through love or affection or perhaps creative moments, but those triumphs of life are pools of light we make for ourselves while the edge of the road is black: each of us dies alone."

I just finished the temp controler for my greenhouse. By no stretch of the imagination art, but can be programmed to turn anything plugged into it on or off based on temp (which it displays in oh so exciting 2x7-segment display)
your welcome to have it for show and tell, but again, not art, functional (not that art doesn't have a function, but asthetics will not keep my plants from freezing come winter)
