The 42147th dorkbot-nyc meeting took place on Wednesday, March 7th, 2007, at 7pm at Location One in SoHo.

It featured the limber and startling:

Erik Sanner: Rothko shock, the singularity, and painting without paint
"Rothko shock" refers to the paralyzing weight of human cultural history. Has everything been said and done? Looking forward to the singularity makes me say not a chance. Technology enables me to make paintings that move.

Christine Gatti: 18 project
From late July 2004 through mid-January 2006, I took two photographs - one of my face and the other of my surrounding environment - on the 18th minute of each hour of every day. The motivation behind the project was to find a vehicle to become more present in my daily life, to come out of my head for a moment or two every hour and take note of where I was in the physical world, to become aware of my feet on the ground. I saw the project as a meditation; a ritual; a commitment added to a less committed life; an experiment. This process, to become mindful for a few moments on the hour, has produced more than 20,000 images.

derivart: financial art
What do artists make of Wall Street? The financial markets have a big influence over the people on the street, and artists are beginning to talk about it. We will present a museum exhibition in Madrid that brought together electronic artists, from Rome to San Francisco, that engaged, critiqued or re-imagined global capital markets.
