Fall 2017¶
The third iteration of the course was organized around a final gallery show of kinetic works at The Frame Gallery. Two of the projects were A Line in the Sand, a sandbox drawing machine, and What Do You Think of Me?, a voice-activated automatic paintball turret which drowns out the sound of whomever is speaking by firing paintballs.
