London dorkfest 2006: people doing strange things with electricity.

A weekend gathering at the edge of art, science and uselessness; dorkfest 2006 is a two day showcase of inventions and explorations into electricity and its (stranger) uses. The event will give the public an opportunity to see the creations by a global network of dorks (although others might call them artists, inventors, programmers and musicians).

Previous events have seen cybernetic parrot sausages, megavolt destruct-o-trons, criminal robots and clocks that tell the time from prawn cocktail decay. Creations on display range in form from mechanical objects, musical instruments, software and other things we did not expect.

dorkfest 2006 will be comprised of installations, demonstrations, workshops, film screenings, presentations and some performances. There will be limited tickets available for the Saturday evening session.
