This workshop will introduce developing for the Nokia N810 with Python. Here are the things that will happen:

1. Go over the details of a game project under development that depends on the Nokia N810 as one of it's central technologies.
2. Talk about some of the unique characteristics of the platform and our overall impressions after working with it.
3. Short introduction to connecting Arduino to the Nokia N810 via USB
4. Short introduction to Python and PyGame
5. Go through a short tutorial where we show some of the steps necessary to setting up a development tool chain and create a simple graphic application that will run on the N810

No prior knowledge of any of the technologies covered will be required. Participants will not be required to bring their own Arduinos or Nokia N810s.

Rethinking what it means to be original. Review of modern tactics for creative expression in post-digital era.

We will work together to write a book in the least amount of time possible. If it would take one person 10 days to write a book of creative spontaneous prose it should take 10 people 1 day to write the same. And as a bonus it should be 10 times as good. That only leaves one problem, authorship. What happens if the book turns out to be a classic? Who will get the attribution of genius? This has always been the fatal obstacle with group think. But the answer is simple. Let the machine that is us receive the accolade. This is the seed that corporation is born from, but it's not the only fruit that it might bear. By using a system of abstraction, individuals may be freed from concerns of originality and authorship and revel in the lofty weightlessness of the collective body. We will share whatever successes and failures our machine might bring but only in so far as we might enjoy anyone else's work, as readers, and the machine will inherit all the sovereignty and rights of the individual, for better or worse. For once in our creative lives will as the maker will finally be reunited in the complete sense with our soul mates, the audience.
