SPEED SHOW: Ping

September 29, 2012, 7:00 – 11:00 PM, Nicola Internet Cafe (basement), 1565 Robson Street, Vancouver BC Canada

Submarines, ham radio operators, and internet connected computers send out electric pulses and wait for a response… when a computer sends it its called an echo request. All those things are kind of about waiting alone in the darkness and hoping (believing) that someone will reply … its kind of a beautiful idea.

PING!…
