Please join us this month for a "very special episode" of dorkbot pittsburgh! We will be welcoming Eric Paulos and Jill Miller to Pittsburgh and introducing them to as many new faces as possible.
Jill Miller, " I Heart Surveillance"
Jill is a recent Pittsburgh transplant; she moved here from California because she heard that the weather was better. She is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Art Department and HCI Institute at Carnegie Mellon University. She previously taught at the San Francisco Art Institute and the California College of Arts. She is a conceptual artist and will talk about her recent project, Collectors, when she went undercover and conducted surveillance on art collectors in San Francisco.
Eric Paulos, "I Want to be Unique Like Everyone Else"
Eric is a recent arrival to Pittsburgh coming by way of UC Berkeley, San Francisco, Intel Research, and Survival Research Labs. He has been known to build flying robots, create EMP devices, and construct interactive public trashcans. His recent efforts as an Assistant Professor at CMU's HCI Institute focus on citizen science, activism, sustainability, green design, and environmental awareness. Eric will explore these topics as well as explain what it is like to fulfill a personal fantasy of driving a public street sweeper.
dorkbot pittsburgh is open to the public, non-smoking, all-ages, and admission is free. We meet upstairs at Brillobox (4104 Penn Ave @ Main), vegetarian dinner and drinks are available.
