Dorkbot is an international network of affiliated organisations supporting members of local communities who work under the umbrella term of ‘electronic art’. The global catch cry for Dorkbot is ‘people doing strange things with electricity.’ Meetings held by Dorkbot cells in approximately one hundred participating cities aim to bring together diverse practitioners from various fields – artists, engineers, musicians, electricians, software developers, hermits, et al – and pose as an opportunity for public discussion, peer review and exploration of ideas, experiments and finished works. The effect is to solidify and invite growth, encouragement and collaboration in a community of curious people.
