    Hi,

    There's been a lot of interest in Processing in the space, and the fusion of art and technology in general.

    There's a local staff artist (Paul) who is very interested in collaborating on a project that would use motion detection to track the position of the staff and to create a live digital show on a projector.

    This is a perfect project for a Processing group.

    I'm interested in getting a regular weekly meetup going to kick this off and see what we can do, who's in?


    Edit: This is him by the way!

    There's a few more of us interested I'm sure. I'll get in touch with people when this whole hackerspace week business is over.

    Thursday 26th at 4pm is the first Processing and Arduino meetup at
    091Labs Galway. From Thursday 2nd September on we will be meeting
    regularly once a week at 6pm in the space.
    For starters we will be following the O'Reilly Online course
    'Processing and Arduino in Tandem'
    Creating Your Own Digital Art Tools

    Starting Tuesday 31st 11pm GMT O'Reilly will stream the course which
    you can follow for free online, quick go sign up
    http://training.oreilly.com/arduino/, but it you cant make it to every
    class we have pooled together to download the course video which we
    will be following week by week 6pm every Thursday at 091Labs.

    So What is Processing?
    from - http://processing.org/about/
    Processing is a programming language, development environment, and
    online community that since 2001 has promoted software literacy within
    the visual arts. Initially created to serve as a software sketchbook
    and to teach fundamentals of computer programming within a visual
    context, Processing quickly developed into a tool for creating
    finished professional work as well.

    * Just check out all the crazy fun stuff people are doing with this at
    http://processing.org/exhibition/ *

    What is Arduino?
    from - http://arduino.cc/en/Guide/Introduction
    "It's an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple
    microcontroller board, and a development environment for writing
    software for the board.
    Arduino can be used to develop interactive objects, taking inputs from
    a variety of switches or sensors, and controlling a variety of lights,
    motors, and other physical outputs. Arduino projects can be
    stand-alone, or they can be communicate with software running on your
    computer"

    Put them together and you get really great interactive art works and
    installations.

    But first you will need to get yourself some materials
    the list can be found here http://training.oreilly.com/arduino/
    We are currently looking into getting these bits and pieces together
    from local suppliers details of which we will add to the wiki asap.

    As the weeks go by we will also build a resource of documentation and
    links on the Wiki.
    http://091labs.com/wiki/?id=processing_and_arduino_meetup

    Looking forward to seeing you there
