Michelle Hui's NYC Tech & Culture Picks — Week of Aug 10

Michelle Hui — security researcher at X, and increasingly a genuinely useful NYC events curator — posted her weekly roundup of tech and culture events worth your time (week of 8/10). Five picks across 8/12–8/16, and her taste runs to the up-and-coming and community-driven.

Thu 8/13:

• The Creative Edge w/ John Bai (Cursor), Round (Flora), Contralabs — AI creator panel
• NYC Hardware Meetup: Designing Physical Products Beyond the Screen — “best event series imo, dedicated to making robotics thrive in NYC”

Sat 8/15:

• BOMB Art Magazine Fair @ Amant — up-and-coming Brooklyn contemporary art gallery

Sun 8/16:

• Taiwanese Waves DJ Festival @ Central Park — w/ Chinatown Records, an amazing DJ archiving Chinatown through music

The standouts for the feed: the BOMB fair (art opening, Saturday) and Taiwanese Waves (free live music, Sunday — same event as the SummerStage series already on the calendar, 9m88 + ØZI + YELLOW + more). Also on the list: Cafe Cursor NYC (Wed).
