The Moving Finger/ Meaning Machines
"the Moving Finger writes, and having writ, moves on..." This transient optical experience presents one of the five Fitzgerald translations of The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam. The poems are “written” onto a spherical shell of space by a multicolor LED which is mounted on the end of a mechanical “finger,” translating a 12th century Arabic poem into a language of fleeting streaks of color and electromechanical chirping. Dynamo-powered oracles accompany this performance.

nublabs & the Boston FabLab
nublabs is a smart-up in Boston that is working to set up a FabLab and community laboratory space, funded by socially-conscious engineering work. We've brought a FabLab--a computer controlled router, laser cutter, mini-mill, vinyl cutter, and EE bench--to Maker Faire to show Makers what the Fablab can do, tell them about the work that we've done, and help them to use the tools to make something on the premises.

, Sunday 4:00 PM - 4:30 PM Alec Resnick: necessary, useful, beautiful: what could making mean for education?
Makers' and hackers' ethos and communities offer some compelling insight into educational reform that is surprisingly radical. Come hear about a few ways some people are trying to capitalize on these opportunities, and what they think are some easy first steps to get started on the job of changing education.

Angeliska + Arpadelamar
I play ocean-harp (also known as sea-harp, or waterphone). This mysterious instrument is a peculiar combination of whale and tea-pot. It looks like it was invented by mermaids - in fact, it was invented to serenade cetaceans. It has been used in many wonderful horror movie soundtracks.
