For us designers located outside of Vancouver (Vancouver designers are still welcome of course) and primarily in the surrounding lower mainland.  This group is set up as a networking opportunity as well as a chance to share ideas about design and the industry.

ARTCODE is a group dedicated to the combination of Art and new Technology. We are hands-on enthusiasts in hardware or software. We are into stuff like PureData, Max/MSP, Haskore, QuartzComposer, Csound, Kinect, 3D printing, OpenNI, Frankencamera, Open Framework, OpenCV, Processing, Wiring, Arduino, HIDs, HUDs, Android, WP7, iPhone/iPod, and iPad. We would like to meet others in order to exchange knowledge, skills and perhaps work on larger projects.
