YURI'S NIGHT BAY AREA @ NASA's Ames Research Center
Mountain View, CA, USA
Come to Yuri’s Night Bay Area to kick back, celebrate, and dance, but also be ready to learn, interact, and think! You could think of Yuri’s Night as a fusion of a technology expo, a Maker Faire, an art exhibition, and a music festival, all rolled into one.
Yuri’s Night Bay Area 2008 includes:
- A world-class lineup of musical artists, ranging from the electronic breakbeat sounds of Amon Tobin and Tipper to Telstar, featuring Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead.
- A mind-expanding series of speakers, from NASA scientists to video-game designers to Bay Area entrepreneurs.
- Live performances of all kinds, from dance and acrobatics by Capacitor to aerial demonstrations featuring Yuri-Gagarin-era aerobatic aircraft.
- Dozens of art and science installations, including everything from NASA research robots to the unveiling of the newest fire sculpture by the Flaming Lotus Girls.
- A chance to talk to each other—and to some of our speakers, artists, scientists, and performers—about the big questions in or Festival of Ideas.
