A PRESS RELEASE FROM THE HOSTS:
"We've been vibing, coding, sketching, breaking things, fixing things, and breaking them again. For two months, STUDY HALL has been where strangers become collaborators and laptops become instruments. Now it's time to open the notebooks. Show us the half-finished thing that keeps you up at night. The demo that almost works. The idea you can't stop talking about. The thing that makes you tick."
TWO MONTHS OF NOODLING IN PUBLIC. ONE NIGHT TO SHOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT.
WORKS IN PROGRESS WELCOME. ROUGH EDGES ENCOURAGED.
COME READY TO TINKER, TRY, START, OR SHARE!

FEATURED GUESTS:
Andrew Boylan is an artist-musician building spaces for play on the internet, in public, and elsewhere. He peddles bioinformation at Harvard and Mass General by day, and freelances as a web dev by night. He wants you to join his new band where everyone will play websites as instruments. Ask him about critical theories on Ratatouille.
Jessica Garson / Messica Arson is a dev relations baddie (ex-Twitter, Elastic) and Brooklyn's most dangerous noise artist. Since 2017 she's been live-coding chaos, such as looped screams with modular synthesizers and Python. She co-runs RAID, NYC's premiere research, AI, and design series. Ask her about her cat Poot.
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.
