takeaway festival opening night tuesday 19th may 2009

For the past couple of weeks I've been working with Neil and Simeon, building a giant collaborative art touch screen thing. It involves lasers, loads of wood, and cameras, and it's been a nightmare to build so far. I have almost cut all my fingers off numerous times and accidentally shot myself in the eyes with high power infra-red lasers.

This is all for the Takeaway Festival - a fusion of technology, music and art - happening at the Dana Centre, SW London over a couple of weeks starting Tuesday the 19th May. It's without a doubt the nerdiest thing I have ever been a part of, but it feels good.

I would love if it you came down to the Tuesday opening night (they have beer), or if you can't make it, you can see our installation anytime after that for a couple of weeks. See the details below.

Here's a picture of us prototyping the device.
