Sara, from the San Francisco based portable speaker company Boombotix, has just given us news on their upcoming event! Boombotix is collaborating with over 30 local artists to participate in customizing their speakers. Their speakers were originally conceived from Do-It-Yourself vinyl toys. This event is exciting because it will be re-visiting the roots and cultural heritage behind urban art and technology.

"Boombotix CEO commented, “CRAYnial is going to be a really cool way for us to collaborate with other artists while also taking a step back and digging for new artistic inspiration on this medium.  I always admired looking back and seeing one shape/character take on a wide array of identities when I put on vinyl toy shows back in 2007-08.  Boombotix was founded originally with the intent to bring function/tech to these cool toys, so now it’ll be cool to revert and dig back into the artistic side.  Who knows…we might even find the next design for our future artist series….”
