"Crude Awakening" Action Figures
Epiphany, Mumbatu and Ecstasy are three of the figures from "Crude Awakening," a massive collaboration created for the Burning Man event in 2007. One hundred and eighty people contributed in some fashion to the construction of the 100' tall "Revered Oil Derrick," the eight 30' tall figures of the faithful, the fantabulous and explosive pyrotechnics show, the original musical score, and the unforgettable finale that was seared into the minds of the 45,000 who witnessed it.

Katie Shima
Loud Objects
Agog and agaggle! The Loud Objects set sail for a feral reimagination of circuit bending. Loftily wielding soldering irons against a ramshackle overhead projector, these heroic lads from New York City (Tristan Perich the composer, Kunal Gupta the programmer, and Katie Shima the architect) wire up live musical circuits and gerrymander lo-fi electronic noise. The first few minutes are characterized by bleak silence as the loud objects swiftly assemble an initial circuit; thereafter a lush and percussive poetry overwhelms the arena as the trio heroically hacks microchips into a beastly swarm of 1-bit noise. These maneuverings are projected physically from the smokiness, hulking beyond the performers, gargantuan spectres stripped from the pillars of antiquated technology to their lurid and noble spirit. (Co-located in the Maker Shed with 1-Bit Music.)

Pops! Icy Treats for Everyone
A truly amazing feature of pops is they can be cast into any shape you can imagine. In this workshop you will learn how to make simple pop molds from everyday household items, such as glasses, cookie cutters, ice cube trays and even food packaging, from wax paper to plastic juice boxes. Or if you really want to get crafty, experiment with liquid silicone and make molds out of found objects, small toys or characters you sculpt from your imagination.

PyroCardium
PyroCardium is an interactive fire sculpture that illuminates a person's heartbeat by computer-controlled ignition with a series of flames arranged along a helical metal sculpture. A stethoscope is placed on the participant’s chest, causing waves of flame to propagate along the helix in response to their heartbeat.
