This is one of the reviews for The All-American Genderf*ck Cabaret, an awesome off Broadway play that I had the wonderful opportunity to design sound for. It was directed by Krystal Banzon whom I currently attend ITP with.

Testing from mobile.

Now that this is working properly, I have to try out higher (and unfortunately louder) CFM fans.

Artists are magical helpers. Evoking symbols and motifs that connect us to our deeper selves, they can help us along the heroic journey of our own lives. […]

The artist is meant to put the objects of this world together in such a way that through them you will experience that light, that radiance which is the light of our consciousness and which all things both hide and, when properly looked upon, reveal. The hero journey is one of the universal patterns through which that radiance shows brightly.

USA Today also indexed the Ostatic post.

The word is spreading!

A nice little write up on Ostatic – an open source blog.

We mocked up these screens and put this video together back in November/December, but I never posted it – until now. RapidFTR has progressed greatly since then and much has happened in the past three months. Jorge’s been doing an incredible job managing the project and I’m excited that it’s evolved beyond our Design for UNICEF class.

A rough sketch of the inflatable installation idea. This is definitely NOT to scale.
