03/30/2008 - 3:00pm - 5:00pm

Our next meeting will be held on Sunday, March 30th and we are extremely excited to welcome one of our own to the guest speaker mic. MakePhilly charter member, Chris Vecchio, will present an overview of his work over the past few years including his Meterbox series - an investigation into the narrative potential of electronic circuitry, Evidence of Toolmaking - a series of hand-held sculptures integrating electronics and bone, and concluding with a demonstration of CUBE - an interactive sound installation and study in the design of ambiguous but suggestive user interfaces.

Chris is an electrical engineer who began creating sculptural electronic devices and interactive installations to help him better understand the relationship between man and technology. Chris holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Drexel University and is the Chairman of the Board at Nexus Foundation for today’s Art, Philadelphia. He also holds several patents for his work in the field of ultrasonic measurement.
