New equipment: Homer the light projector and Fabian the silver screen!

by Romy Ilano

Going forward, I'm going to anthropormorphize the heck out of all our cool equipment! The silver screen is named Fabian, and the light projector is named Homer. https://sudoroom.org/wiki/ProjectionMapping#Equipment I think I'm going to do a series of interviews where I talk to each equipment piece and ask them about their lives, their power equipment and how we can connect to them and do weird projects. And then a "person on the street" type deal where I interview various SudoRoom members and ask them what cool things we could do with each piece! Anyway Fabian the silver screen is totally silver! and according to Jake we can do real 3D movie son him! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Hardware Hacking Tuesday tonight!

by Jake

Hi everyone, you're getting this email either because you're on the sudoroom discuss email list, or because I BCC'd you directly. Tonight I'll be hosting Sudoroom for those who want to come hack on whatever in person, or through telepresence of any means you can invoke. Remember that Omni Commons and Sudoroom policy is presently that EVERYONE MUST WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES INSIDE THE BUILDING. (if you want to eat something you should go outside) in the past few weeks, we've had about 4-10 people over the course of the evening, not including remote participants who logged in through the telescreen. i haven't put it on the Omni calendar (don't know how?) but it's on the sudoroom page: https://sudoroom.org/events/hardware-hack-night-2022-02-15/ that says 7PM but I try to be there soon after 6pm. if you get to the door (at the corner of 48th and shattuck) and you can't get in, call me or someone else who's there to let you in! Email me if you don't have my phone number. Actually a great way to get our attention is to join the video chat link at the end of this email! We don't always hear the doorbell and I don't answer it after 10PM anyway because of diminishing returns :) You should get on this sudoroom discuss mailinglist! click here: https://sudoroom.org/lists/postorius/lists/sudo-discuss.sudoroom.org/ and you should donate to sudoroom, monthly, by signing up here: https://sudoroom.org/humans and if you need to make a one-time donation, you can go here: https://sudoroom.org/donate bonus: join the jitsi videochat with the space tonight, and chat with each other as well as a giant TV screen/speakerphone on the wall of the space: https://meet.waag.org/turtlesturtlesturtles (don't worry if you're the only one in the "room", others will join eventually, and if the camera is pointed at the floor, just yell until someone comes and talks to you and then ask them to aim it back up into the room) see you soon! -jake

drawing projection at omnicommons

by Romy Ilano

https://youtu.be/Tolft9ONZw0 Thanks to everyone for your kind suggestions and help! I went into the ballroom again with two tiny laser projectors, and it just looks very cool! https://flic.kr/p/2n7GRgT https://flic.kr/p/2n7FkGd ^^^ So there are two other artists I’ve spoken o who are really interested. The space is just cool, i really want to show this art in the ballroom. I think I’m going to start by making a kind of exquisite corpse animation between a couple of artists, and then run that and interweave it with the themes of SudoRoom during the upcoming Noisebridge anniversary fundraiser!

updates on the sudoroom calendar- adding bike parties (so many opportunities fro collaboration!)

by Romy Ilano

I'm starting to update the SudoRoom Calendar with relevant local volunteer driven community groups. I think it's pretty rad to add the local bicycle parties--there are at least 3 of them in the sf bay area. they happen each once a month, so about 3 weeks out of 4 there's a cool bicycle party to attend somewhere in the sf bay area with hundreds of people! - the san jose bike party (very diverse, largest one, latino and much of the time reachable by BART now that the berryessa line is open! lots of taco trucks!!! summers are super fun because they stop by local east side san jose parks and even people who don't bike can dance and partipcipate - the east bay bike party (which is this friday)! https://sudoroom.org/events/east-bay-bike-party-green-forest-nature/ - the east bay bike party in particular is going to be super interesting, because we can mount our bicycles with laser projectors and start messing around with cool designs. - there is so much cool action too from the richmond (east bay richmond) at this event - multiple stops at bike parties with disco dancing, so lots of opportunities to play with mobile light projections - the sf bike party - super fun tends to be a bit chillier, trying to think of a thing we can do that's unique to sf the name of the game is collaboration and fun. 😎 I wonder what cool mobile light projections or displays we can make. Since the events occur in the evening it will be fun ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com

Potential SudoRoom @ the April Noisebridge party fundraiser?

by Romy Ilano

Chatting with Noisebridge - They're having their stupid hackathon in April (4/1-3 ) and there's going to be a lot of fun! https://www.noisebridge.net/images/5/51/NB14posterV4.jpg They're interested in doing light projection mapping for the Noisebridge event, but also showing SudoRoom history and fundraising as well. I can imagine so many cool ways to use light projection mappings with artists at this party! ============================= Romy Ilano romy(a)snowyla.com
