Our first speakers are artist Jeff de Boer and technologist Shannon Hoover. Jeff and Shannon explore the idea of Art Directed Technology. They’ll share insights from developing the Tech Tie a wearable technology developed with partners Intel and Seeedstudios that incorporates art fashion social interaction and just plain fun.
We’re also very excited that Geoff and Julie from Calgary’s own Buy Nothing Year will be presenting at our October Nerd Nite. You’ve likely heard about Buy Nothing Year in the news including a recent Forbes article.
We’re also extremely excited to announce that Dr. Christian Jacob from the University of Calgary will tell the story of The Giant Walkthrough Brain and show the 3-dimensional interactive computer model. We’ll see first-hand demonstrations of the software as well as snippets from the three performances at the Banff Centre and during Beakerhead. Learn why a computer nerd can get excited about the human brain!
