Kyle McDonald and I will be developing a new project at the upcoming Art Hack Day in Brooklyn, which culminates in a public art exhibition at 319 Scholes on Saturday, 1/28 at 7pm. Internet, you are invited to attend and see what we come up with. There will be art, technology, free beer (as in beer) and free source code (as in speech).

Over the next few days Kyle and I will be working on the first prototypes of Scratch Markup Language, an open-source system for capturing, describing and digitizing turntablism. The project is inspired by our previous work developing Graffiti Markup Language, and we hope to do for scratching what GML has done for tagging — including teaching giant robots how to do graffiti.
