Thought You Missed the Dome?


Overwhelming response to my dome-tour post last month meant a lot of my fellow nerds got left out of checking out the virtual universe. But don't worry -- the GeoDome is an Asheville technology, and Asheville people will always have a chance to check them out.

The next chance is Friday, April 17, 6:30-8:30 p.m. as part of HATCHfest.

From the Elumenati, designers and distributors of the GeoDome:
Interactive tours of the universe in the GeoDome Portal will highlight the Asheville Hatchfest’s Design & Technology reception. Hatchfest brings together luminaries in the arts and entertainment world to serve as mentors to groundbreaking new talent. This marks the first year of the festival’s East Coast iteration in lovely Asheville, NC – home of a diverse creative community (and, of course, the Elumenati design studio). The mission of the Design & Technology track – including speakers from VisualComplexity.com and IDEO - is “to advance the state of technology that artists use to make their art, with an emphasis on tools that adapt both to the artists and their audience.” We’re pleased to be part of it and honored to set up the Portal alongside an interactive exhibit from the Bob Moog Foundation, this Friday, April 17, 6:30-8 pm at Hatch Battery Park.
This is a smaller and different kind of dome than the one we toured in last month, but it's still worth a visit.

Here's the Elumenati blog, a great way to keep up with Elumenati events!
