Dorkbot

This is weird. This is free.
I went last week and a woman unveiled her latest project, a system of notes based off of her freckles, tuned to the key of her apartment and a rhythm controlled by where people stand in the apartment. These variables come together in a large, guitar-like set of strings plucked by picks protruding from a rotating cylinder.

From the website: dorkbot-nyc is a monthly meeting of artists (sound/image/movement/whatever), designers, engineers, students, scientists, and other interested parties from the new York area who are involved in the creative use of electricity. Dorkbot meetings are free and open to the public. Since we started dorkbot-nyc in 2000 many other dorkbots have sprung up around the world. See them all at: http://dorkbot.org
The purpose of dorkbot-nyc is to:

Give people doing strange things an opportunity for informal peer review
Establish a forum for the presentation of new art works/technology/software/hardware
Help establish relationships and foster collaboration between people with various backgrounds and interests
Give us all a chance to see the cool things that our neighbors are working on

Too much light makes the baby go blind.

30 plays in 60 minutes. This show plays every Saturday night under the KGB bar in Manhattan. You pay $11 plus the role of the dice to get into this small theater for an intense and unique experience. The talented troupe goes on for 60 minutes of high-energy plays, some blasphemous, humorous, demented, meditative and all geared to entertain. This is a must-see.

From the website:

Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind, with its ever-changing “menu” of plays is an attempt to perform 30 plays in 60 minutes–an original concept by Greg Allen and the Neo-Futurists. The single unifying element of these plays is that they are performed from a perspective of absolute honesty. We always appear as ourselves on stage, speaking directly from our personal experiences. Each short play is written by a performer, honed by the ensemble, and randomly collaged with twenty-nine other plays through high energy audience participation. Each week, these plays shift as ensemble members add new plays to the existing body of work. Each night of performance, we create an unreproducable living-newspaper of the comic and tragic, the political and personal, the visceral and experimental.
