Meet Mike North, a multi-faceted man who loves technology in all forms and shapes.<\/p><\/div>\n

During our third field tests<\/a> for the Vence Project<\/a> we met with one of our oldest colleagues, Mike North<\/a>. He graciously let us turn his home in Bolinas, CA<\/a>\u00a0into a temporary workshop for the work we conducted in\u00a0Lucky Ranch in Point Reyes National Seashore<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mike, or better known as the Experimental Gentleman<\/a>, is a multi faced lover of technology. Our first work together was the infamous 6×6 All-Terrain Vehicle<\/a> episode of the Discovery Channel’s Prototype This!<\/a> show. Most of our projects together were out of the box. Case in point Dancing Hexapod Swarm for IDF’2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Dr. North is involved in\u00a0a number of projects. Most notably he is the founder and lead\u00a0of the Reallocate<\/a>, a platform that brings together resources of all kinds for social good. At his company, North Design Labs<\/a>, he works on various technology related TV show, appears as speakers in international events and provides consulting to technology companies.<\/p>\n

During the last Vence field tests Mike helped us capture our work on camera and will be producing a detailed multimedia presentation. We had some exciting exchanges during this time and hoping to setup a cool technology\u00a0event in Summer 2017 at Drita Hotel<\/a>\u00a0located by the\u00a0gorgeous and historic Mediterranean coastline in Alanya<\/a>, Turkey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
