For its 9th volume, STUDY HALL crosses the river to Brooklyn (Boerum Hill specifically), and to an elite hackerspace: NYC Resistor! "Resistors do everything from costumes to electronics to visual arts to woodworking. All are enthusiastically welcome... a proactively inclusive space." An evening for hobbies and hobbyists! You'll work on your favorite hardware, software, or craft project alongside members of Brooklyn's premiere hacking collective. RUN OF SHOW 6pm - arrive and say hi, gawk at the laser cutter 6:30pm - building breakout 7:30pm - show and tell, popcorn style 8pm - music + mingling VIBE CODING IS FOR EVERYONE. HACKING + CRAFTING IS FOR EVERYONE. COME AS YOU ARE. GO FROM ZERO TO HERO. EVERYONE IS AN EXPERT AT SOMETHING. ~~~ MORE ABOUT NYC RESISTOR: NYC Resistor has been Brooklyn's premiere hackerspace since Halloween 2007, when it was founded by a duo hailing from a hacker camp in Germany. It's where MakerBot was invented ("we make robots that make things"). And is the host of a weekly craft night, which has been going on since before the iPhone had an App Store. ~~~ A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE HOSTS: "I saw the best minds of my cohort building nothing anyone asked for, hunched, luminous, at 3 a.m., wiring a houseplant to a webhook so it could text them when it was sad. STUDY HALL is where those people stand up and explain themselves. Attendance is not mandatory. It is, however, the good part. Two branches diverged in a repo, and I, I took the one that compiled." ~~~ HOSTS Charlie Freiberg is a soothsayer-saleswoman in NYC. Her "storytelling" (ex Cultural Counsel) makes people love and pay you. She can guess your childhood trauma in < 10 minutes. instagram.com/charlie.freiberg/ Zak Hap is an engineer and serial startup boy (Liminal Media, Odefi, Commonwealth Labs) based in NYC. Ask him about sacred Japanese music. NYC Resistor is a hacker collective with a shared space located in downtown Brooklyn. We meet regularly to share knowledge, hack on projects together, and build community. nycresistor.com Image: The Parabolic Mirror Has a Thousand Eyes, Berenice Abbott, 1958-1961.
