Do Something, Even If It's Wrong

Presented at Notacon 10 (2013), April 19, 2013, 3 p.m. (30 minutes).

Do Something, Even If It�s Wrong consists of an Arduino and black and white surveillance monitor, where it begins by printing out the title message, but then continues to loop and the text begins to print improperly aligned on the screen, thus signifying the message. The piece uses low-rez aesthetics and the message fits exactly with the spirit of the conference.
