L.A. SIGGRAPH: Maker Night and Science Fair

The Los Angeles Professional Chapter of ACM SIGGRAPH will host a one night event on interactive techniques. "Maker Night" will feature Mark Frauenfelder and Jeff Boynton. Frauefelder of MAKE Magazine and BoingBoing.net will speak on "The Rise and Fall and Ride of Modern Making." Boynton will provide a performance on circuit bending by creating an immersive audio environment honed from his hand crafted electronic instruments built from leftover consumer electronic detritus.

A "Maker Science Fair" will inform and entertain during the Social Hour. Any "Makers" who wish to exhibit their projects at the Science Fair must contact Craig "Xray" Halperin at makers@agentxray.com for full details and booking.
