The Noisebridge Dorkroom is the successor to the Darkroom. The Darkroom is dead, long live the Dorkroom!


This is a light and sound controlled room for digital photography, book scanning, lightbox work, audio research, etc. Anything which would benefit from having a little more environmental controls than the main floor but not as extreme controls as the SparkleForge. The centerpiece is a custom built Book scanner. Mounted within are two Canon EOS Rebel 1100 SLR cameras. There are two tripods.

Roadmap.

  • confirm cameras can be mounted onto both tripods
  • acquire some studio lighting
  • build a lightbox or a lightable
  • mass damper as temporary door
  • line walls with acoustic foam
