People have tweeted about loads of different locations but the one coming out on top so far is Corner Shoreditch High St/Hackney Road.

Nokia N900 exhibition at the V&A in London this weekend

Nokia UK has joined forces with the V&A  and the current Decode exhibition to showcase some of the amazing stuff you can do with open source technology these days. 

To highlight the potential of the Nokia N900, a handful of hackers from around the world were asked to create something amazing as part of the PUSH campaign. Hacks on show this weekend range from robots ready to dance on command through the power of text-messaging, to a vibrating belt that uses GPS to guide you to your desired destination.

As well as a range of talks and workshops from leading digital artists, the creators will be on hand to explain their journey from concept to creation and demo all of the hacks.

It’s free to attend and open Friday 7.30pm – 10 and Saturday & Sunday 10am – 5pm.

Here’s a sneak peak at the dancing robot from artist, Giles Walker.
