Art's Birthday 2011 a few pics

My hat for the Hat making contest! I was an organizer so couldn't officially win but as an instigator of the idea I had to make a hat. The skull is animated by a couple servos and a microcontroller. The head moves around and bobbles on a spring. The jaw moves up and down and there is one LED eye.





Every birthday party should have cake! Our lovely host Miss Lizzy Lala serves it up!





DJ Rob Volar provided awesome tunes all evening!



Jaymez provided awesome visuals all night too.



Every birthday needs presents! Kunstradio.at in Vienna Austria organizes a pool of presents for Art every year. AB2011

Mine is here. Birthday Song

Arts Birthday 2011!

It's that time of the year! A time to celebrate all that Art gives to us. A great way to start the year.



"This year our theme is Holus Bolus, meaning all together, all at once;
whole, in one big lump. Wear your own whimsical handmade hat to win big prizes (we have jurors, it's a serious thing), or make one at the party, at the Table of Imaginative Materials.
