Overview

Art, sound, dance and technology COLLIDE.

Members

We are busily absorbing various groups from SudoRoom, Oakland and the Public School. We are interested in infusing art into technology.

Events

May 3rd, 2013 - Circles & Dance Performance at the Berkeley Museum

SudoRoom will be performing a dance in circles of white at the Berkeley Museum. We will be wearing LED costumes. Open to all! Rehearsals are every Saturday at 6pm in SudoRoom.

Inspiration

Patterns

Happy Patterns

People hacking things

Dancers speaking one on one with the LED people on interesting things they'd like to do

Anti-Patterns

Pulling in too many readymade projects with readymade ideas made by other people not part of sudo room in a way that inhibits the creativity of the group.

It's probably not a good idea to involve Zumba, etc. or any franchise corporate fitness movement. They are heavily copyrighted and do not allow hacking / creative extensions.
