Noise Bridge is a hacker space in the same spirit as the European clubs like Metalab of Vienna, CBase of Berlin, MAMA of Zagreb, ASCII of Amsterdam. Many other clubs of a similar stripe can be found on Hacklabs. It would not be out of the question to consider Noise Bridge to be a possible San Francisco Chaostreff. Noise Bridge is a hacker space that shares a Dorkbot-like ethic and indeed many of the members of Noise Bridge are long time Dorkbotters.

Noise Bridge is a space for sharing, creation, collaboration, research, development, mentoring and of course learning.

The group as whole has an interest in programming, hardware hacking, chemistry, mathematics, photography, security, robotics, all kinds of art and of course technology.

It is a place for mentoring and asking questions.

Noisebridge is a space for artistic collaboration and experimentation. We are open to all types of art with special emphasis on the crossover of art and technology. There are plans to build a darkroom in the space, equipped with black and white and color enlargers.

We intend to have many interesting things happening at all times. Sharing is essential to making this work. A logical followup to this is to have space to display our creative projects.
