Assignment

We are well past the point we need a committed, final system in order to work on final performances.

But as a final deadline: you have until 2PM on Tuesday Nov 28 to be completely finished with your kinetic sculptural contributions. Anything deemed incomplete will be removed and dropped from the performance.
