Pittsburgh and introducing them to as many new faces as possible.


Jill Miller, http://www.jillmiller.net

include Collectors at 2nd Floor Projects in San Francisco and Playback 
at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris in France. She has received 
grants and awards from Arts Council England and D'Arcy Hayman 
Foundation, among others. Her work has been collected around the world,

Garden.

Eric Paulos, "I Want to be Unique Like Everyone Else", http://www.paulos.net

Eric is a recent arrival to Pittsburgh coming by way of UC Berkeley, San 
Francisco, Intel Research, and Survival Research Labs. He has been known 
to build flying robots, create EMP devices, and construct interactive 
public trashcans. His recent efforts as an Assistant Professor at CMU's 
HCI Institute focus on citizen science, activism, sustainability, green 
design, and environmental awareness. Eric will explore these topics as 
well as explain what it is like to fulfill a personal fantasy of driving 
a public street sweeper.
