My participation, and subsequently Fabricatorz, in Vision Forum in Melbourne is in three ways.

Laoban Promotion and Instruction
Day before physically, and the day of, distribute simple HOWTO/Plans for how to make the Laoban "Xiaoban" light speakers. These will help promo the show. I will print some in san francisco before catching my flight, and more in Melbourne. I will put the PDF online on the Fabricatorz website.

Laoban Speaker Workshop
Laoban Speaker Workshop is a small hands-on session dedicated to making custom xiaoban speakers from local materials in Melbourne, combined with Laoban speaker drivers. The emphasis in this event is not just on technology, but on the use of these speakers through "realtime" performance, pre-programmed audio pieces by Yan Jun (China), and throughout The Invisible Generation event for Vision Forum.

The basic plans, including pictures for making simple off the shelf Xiaoban speakers, is at: http://rejon.org/wiki/IDEA_20090606_Laoban_Speaker_Workshop
