Window altar services will be available starting September 14th, 2104. Mutant liturgy will be held on <b>Wednesday, September 24th, 2014</b> and <b>(First) Thursday, October 2nd, 2014</b>, both at 7pm. Other times by appointment.</p> <p>The installation centers around three (3) altars that will test and train the public by subjecting them to a multitude of environmental discomforts while playing augmented versions of the 1982 8­-bit twitch arcade game Roboton 2084. Participants will take up the two (2) eight­-way joysticks to battle both on­-screen Robotrons and real­-world stimuli manifested from in­-game events. These futile efforts will be celebrated and archived on a videographed leaderboard.</p> <p>Church organizers will be conducting research and performing additional tests to determine if the mutant savior walks among us today. Devotees and skeptics alike are invited to take in a recorded (or live!) sermon from a church prophet and to learn more about Robotron prophecy and culture in the reading room.</p> <p>The last human family must survive, and it is through experiential Error, deep understanding of Futility, and the Mutant Savior’s anti-­robot chest­-mounted turreted lasers that our human culture can continue to thrive.</p> <h2>About The Church of Robotron</h2> <p>The Church of Robotron is an avant-­fanatical post­-apocalyptic videogame cyber­-religion based in the 1980s but born in the 2000s in Portland, OR. The CoR has installed/performed at ToorCamp in Neah Bay, held public devivals in Portland, and celebrated with private screenings and public swearing over low scores.</p> <h2>About Diode</h2> <p>Diode is Portland’s flagship art gallery dedicated to electronic and and electro­-interactive works.</p> <h2>For More Information</h2> <p>Contact:<br> Brian Richardson (<a href="mailto:skinny@knowhere.net">skinny@knowhere.net</a>) (503)­929­-3785<br> Diode Gallery (<a href="mailto:contact@jetsoncreative.com">contact@jetsoncreative.com</a>)</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://churchofrobotron.com">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
