What we'll be doing:

Cathrin Machin - Bringing the Stars Closer Through Art and Tech

Join Cathrin Machin, the talent behind the world's most successful Kickstarter art campaign, as she talks about realizing her childhood dream of exploring the space, sharing the beauty of the universe through art, and maximizing the power of the Internet to promote a shared passion.

Mohit Bhoite - An artistic exploration into building Internet connected circuit sculptures:

Mohit will be talking about building free-formed circuit sculptures, and how anyone with the right tools can get involved in this art form. We’ll explore ways to make these sculptures interact with the environment around them, and fetch information over the internet.

Our speakers:

Cathrin Machin:

Cathrin Machin is one of Australia’s fastest growing contemporary artist, with a reputation for boldly engaging the primal questions covering the basis of reality and existence.

Born in Newcastle-Under-Lyme, England in 1986 – the youngest child of an inventive hard-working couple who ran a small clothing business attached to the family home. From an early age, Cathrin spent countless hours contemplating the stars and watching science documentaries, leading to a life-long obsession with science, reality, and the depths of space.

Mohit Bhoite:

Mohit Bhoite works as a senior hardware engineer at Particle, where he designs and builds their flagship IoT products. He is also an avid maker who dedicates his personal time to building free-formed electronic sculptures primarily out of brass.

He combines his background in electronics and robotics to create static and kinematic sculptures that convey information fetched over the internet through sound, light, and motion.

These sculptures sometimes take on an anthropomorphic form thereby leading the viewer to attach personalities and emotions to them.

Mohit holds a master’s degree in Robotics from the University of Pennsylvania. He spent his time there as a research assistant at the ModLab helping build the next generation of modular robotics. For his master's thesis he researched on rapid robot prototyping using binary foams.

Prior to this, he worked at a startup in Mumbai, India, developing robotic kits and conducting STEM focused workshops for high school and university students all across the country.
