POWERUP! A chiptunes event to benefit PLAYPOWER
SEPT 10, 2011 3PM - ON
Nightingale Theatre–1084 N Milwaukee Ave. Chicago IL 60642
8-bit home computers are still being sold! Millions of kids in developing countries are enjoying systems that cost less than $10 and plug into a TV. PLAYPOWER wants to help kids by creating new 8-bit learning games. 8-bit artists, musicians and hackers are creating development toolkits and game design workshops. So far, we've accomplished a lot: designing, developing and field-testing games to teach typing, fun science facts, and malaria prevention-we've even got a prototype for teaching a bit of BASIC programming.
We need your help! Come out to the Nightingale for a full day of 8-bit fun!
The plan is to order 10,000 custom cartridges (loaded with our games) from the pirate 8-bit game manufacturers in China and re-sell the cartridges to wholesalers we've found in India, where they will end up in the market, reaching at least 10,000 kids. Then, *if our games are good enough*, we sit back and let the manufacturers start pirating our games and including them in the package. Bing! Bing! Bing!
SCHEDULE
3.00pm-6.00pm - 8bit game design workshop w/ no-carrier ($25)
7.30pm - Doors open for performances (Tickets $10)
8.00pm-8.30pm - 8-bit open mic

## Jon Satrom: Prepared Desktop

Dates:
Sat Mar 26, 2011 20:00 - Sat Mar 26, 2011

Location:
Chicago, Illinois
United States of America

Lampo and the Graham Foundation are pleased to present Jon Satrom and his “Prepared Desktop.” By inserting Easter eggs, capitalizing on computer customization, and abusing applications, he upgrades conventional computer programs and ordinary operating system elements to a kludgy audio/video instrument.
Tonight, Satrom performs sections of the new work in 3D. His commentary on recent cinematic upgrades? Our attempt to confuse Madlener House with Navy Pier? You decide.
Jon Satrom is a Chicago-based dirty-new-media artist who spends his days fixing things, making things work, and educating. He spends his evenings breaking things, learning, and searching for the unique blips inherent to the systems he explores and exploits. With a background in video, sound and new-media, Satrom has strung together a collection of home-brew systems for real-time performance, which include custom video games, renegade computer scripts, obsolete display hacks and corrupt data.
The event is FREE but RSVP is required

Jon Satrom and Ben Syverson created the sOS or Satromizer Operating System, the world’s first “100% problem-based operating system” which was recently exhibited and performed in the Funware exhibition at MU in Eindhoven, the Netherlands. Combining humor and criticality, Satrom and Syverson’s projects cross boundaries between code-based approaches, functional commercial artware, Glitch Art, Noise and New Media Art:

Chicago is the local Chicago-based node of the international Upgrade! network, an emerging network of autonomous nodes united by art, technology, and a commitment to bridging cultural divides. Its decentralized, non-hierarchical structure ensures that Upgrade! (i) operates according to local interests and their available resources; and (ii) reflects current creative engagement with cutting edge technologies. Upgrade! Chicago presents new media projects, engages in informal critique, and fosters dialogue and collaboration between individual artists.
