Site 3 Opening Event – July 24

SITE 3 – WE HAVE A SHOP!

Saturday, July 24, 2010
Noon until 2am (details below)
At our new workshop at 718R Ossington Ave.

This will be the first event in our new space. Not just a party, we’ll be running informal workshops and showing off the projects we’ve been working on. We want to give people an idea of who we are and what we’re doing, and hopefully inspire people to get involved and create awesome things.

12pm – 5pm : WORKSHOPS

Learn to solder with fun electronics kits! Turn a pencil into a musical instrument, or build a universal TV remote that only has an off button. Find out what the Arduino is, and how it’s revolutionizing interactive art. Make music with Game Boys. Learn how to draw a four-dimensional cube (and what that means). Play with our 60W laser cutter (if it arrives in time!).

5pm – 8pm : GALLERY

See demonstrations of some of the projects we’ve been working on. Circuit boards. LED light installations. Fire that you can control with the power of your mind. Details of the Heart Machine, a very large interactive fire art sculpture, and Flux and Fire, our project for this year’s Nuit Blanche.

8pm – 9pm : BREAK

You’re welcome to stay, but maybe you want to get dinner at one of the amazing restaurants nearby? We suggest Lalibela for great Ethiopian food. Why just a break? Because…

9pm – 2am : PARTY

Stay ’til late for music and some drinks. Meet other local artists, share ideas, talk shop. More party details coming soon!

WANT TO STAY UPDATED ON WHAT WE’RE DOING?
