Green Dot: For San Francisco
(@ Decom) San Francisco, CA
The Burningman organization invited the Dot to Decompression 2007, the community
party to reconvene after returning from the playa. It was an honor to bring
the piece out, a great opportunity to show it again and continue refining
the sounds and circuitry of the piece.
Thanks for the invitation, it was a pleasure to see you all again.
We worked hard to prepare for Decom
Much cleaning and reorganization was needed after the tremendous effort and
reality of going to the desert was over. We must have poured a hundred pounds
of playa out of the shoes. Thankfully we were donated a studio space for the
work (by Proper Management of Emeryville).
The circuits still needed refining, the sounds needed tweeking, the master
controller board still needed work.
Best of all we made some new friends in the process of getting back to work
on the Dot.
Special thanks go to Wally Phillips for stepping in to resolve electronics issues and help us to understand the piece better.

Below are a couple pictures of the install (James and Alex shown) and some of the vistors at Decom.
