this is an evening where everybody is welcome, Illumini will not just
showcase art it will entertain, introducing all communities that may
not normally visit the arts to a different approach.

Illumini brings together a variety of artists, all sharing a passion
for the subject of light. Set in the famous St Pancras crypt, these
impressive pieces of artwork come to life in this desolate and
unsettling environment. Come along to experience the illuminatory and
dazzling effect this diverse collection of artwork has on the
crypt’s dark environment.

Travel down abandoned corridors and venture into secret recesses to
explore a wide variety of artwork. The pieces range from photographs
and paintings depicting light, to sculptural works that literally
glow; at once transforming the crypt’s murky and shadowy atmosphere
like never before.

CALL FOR DORKS
We’re after PEOPLE DOING STRANGE THINGS WITH ELECTRICITY to show us their work at dorkbotlondon.
If you haven’t been along yet, dorkbotlondon is an informal get together where a few people show their projects and ideas to a dorkcrowd of artists who want to be engineers and vice-versa, ranging from 30 to 100 people. We’re a friendly, interested bunch so the less polished and more unusual your presentation the better. It could just be some idea you have, some software bug you’ve exploited or some dorky electronics you’ve repurposed. It just needs to be STRANGE and involve ELECTRICITY in some way. That’s generally means electronics or software is involved, but why not push the boundaries?
How long you present is up to you - from 5 to 10 mins (opendork style) to 20 or 40 minutes (schedule permitting). We can usually fit you in to the next dorkbot, but if not, almost always the one after that.
Maybe you’ve been to dorkbotlondon a few times and have a project you’ve thought about presenting… So do it!
Email your presentation proposal in a single sentence to: mailto:dorkbotlondon@dorkbot.org
