Erik Sanner: Paintings that Move, Spring Planting, and How to Enjoy
Traffic Cones
Why make art when every day we encounter strikingly beautiful,
impenetrable objects of infinite interpretation? The aesthetic practice
of traffic cone viewing is as rewarding as visiting a gallery or museum.
However, by simultaneously engaging in traffic cone appreciation and
collaborative artmaking, I believe we can each experience a unique
"hey!" moment.

Daniela Kostova & Olivia Robinson: Waste to Work
Waste to Work explores the transformation of labor into electric power,
using sweat as the link. Sweat is the perfect medium: it is an
electrolyte that can be used to make galvanic batteries - "waste" that
can be harvested from our labors - and remains an extremely personal
commodity that holds our scent, essential salts, fats, pheromones. This
project has multiple phases: building sweat batteries and sweat
harvesting suits.

Dwayne Johnson: Race to Witch Mountain
For years, stories have circulated about a secret place in the middle of
the Nevada desert, known for unexplained phenomena and strange
sightings. It is called Witch Mountain, and when a Las Vegas cab driver
(Dwayne Johnson) finds two teens with supernatural powers in his cab, he
suddenly finds himself in the middle of an adventure he can't explain.
When they discover that the only chance to save the world lies in
unraveling the secrets of Witch Mountain, the race begins, as the
government, mobsters and even extraterrestrials try to stop them.

Breck Baldwin & Splinter: The Towel
The Towel is a scratch built model airplane consisting of foam, trash,
$100 worth of motor/prop/rc gear etc and 3 hours building time. It flies
great and its primary goal is to channel everyone's inner 8 year old. It
also serves as the foundation for an excellent night flier (to be
demonstrated), aerial video vehicle and has excellent repairability and
crash tolerance.
