Thanks Alia,

I included your suggestions, wrote a lot more, and then realized
things were becoming very long and convoluted -- and then began
pairing down with Nick cheering me on... So here it is.  (Read below.)
 I'm going to make a fb event and then go to sleep. :)

Thanks, Emily

For Immediate Release

Event: Strange New Attractor, an Exhibition by the DMS Community
Date: Friday, September 13th, 2013 at 6:00pm.

Venue: Davis Makerspace, 221 G Street, Suite 1337. (In Tim Spencer
Alley behind Bistro 33).  Davis, California
Web: DavisMakerspace.org, con... at davismakerspace.org

Davis Makerspace presents “Strange New Attractor”, an exhibition
featuring displays from the newly formed community of builders,
hackers and artists.

During this Friday’s ArtAbout come to the Makerspace to see a
collection of work that has been crafted, bended, and programmed by
local artists. Featured pieces include an LED lighting fixture by Alia
Tsang, a work that uses Arduino to bathe the space in temperature
responsive mood lighting. Jeff Tolentino will show a handbuilt and
decorated Okedo style drum. Artist Emily Schleiner will exhibit
“Walking", a sculpture that causes words on the topic of time-travel
to climb around walls. Viewers can have their picture taken by a
Jitter 3D photo booth by Tim Kerbavaz.

The group will also be running 3D printing demonstrations as well as
answering questions about their tools and facilities.  This event is
free and open to the public.

About Davis Makerspace: Davis Makerspace is a diverse group of
builders, makers, hackers, and programmers who share an interest in
science, technology, art, and what happens when those interests
collide.  They work with hardware and software, metal and wood.  They
build robots and trebuchets. They teach and they learn.  But above all
else, they make.
