A community funding experiment
Thursday, October 29th, 2009You might remember muralizer, a mural drawing robot I was working on at Noisebridge earlier this year. Things went awry, and the project never really achieved fruition.
I’m starting it back up again; more deatils over at its own blog: Muralizer Project Blog. In particular, I’m trying to make ends meet for a few weeks with just Muralizer work. To that end, I’ve started a pledge drive over at kickstarter: Muralizer kickstarter page. This is something like a PBS pledge drive, with me handing out prizes for different pledge levels, with a big twist: if the funding goal isn’t met, no money changes hands. This is great, but means that I need to be getting the community behind me.
So, if you’re reading this and can afford to kick in a few bucks to make a really cool open hardware project happen, please, pledge at kickstarter. I’d really appreciate it, as would the community of artists who will benefit from a friendly kit version of this hardware. Thanks in advance for your support!
