Air Tree (2014) This project was the result of a collaboration between art and engineering students. The goal here was to make a visual representation of air quality that could serve as an informative public art work. |
 |
Hand (2012) This student used the lamination technique to make this large hand that appeared to be coming out of the ground. The project assignment was called passages, and Zander was interested in the passage that wood takes from earth to tree to wood and back to earth again. |
 |
Untitled (2011) This sculpture was a final project for the class and was a personal narrative about religion and politics. The student balanced the power for the flourescent lights so that they flickered, which created an anxious, unsettled feeling. |
 |
Giraffe (2011) Giraffe was made for the wood project in Sculpture 2 and was an ambitious undertaking for this student. Other than a few structural pieces, this was made entirely of tree bark that was nailed together. |
 |
The Library (2011) Library is inspired by Jorge Luis Borges' Library of Babel, a philosophic conception of the universe as a library containing every possible combination of text; from volumes of pure nonsense to works of life altering profundity. The central sculpture was fabricated in steel with the use of a CNC laser cutter to precisely cut out each of the holes for the 990 bulbs. The sculpture glows dimly when the room is empty and increases in brightness as viewers approach. |
 |
Untitled (2010) For this installation, Paul expanded his ongoing experimentation with sound and the physics of speaker enclosures. MAX/MSP was used to compose an infinitely variable audio experience. |
 |
Untitled (2011) This project was produced collaboratively as part of the MEAT course, which is an art and engineering collaboration. This project was an interactive sculpture that moved and changed color based on viewer interaction. Each of the rods was connected to a central actuator that pulled on a spring mechanism to move the rods in and out. |
 |
Untitled (2010) As part of the final project for the class we had a public exhibition and Adriana made this work that was a telepresent installation. The artist was in New York during the show and used Skype to allow her to have conversations with viewers. |

Sculptural Garments (2010)
This project was the result of a collaboration between two students who combined their interests and past work to create a really dynamic project. Sculptural Garments are almost entirely made of re-used plastic grocery bags. In the artists' words, " Sculptural Garments use fashion as a language to communicate that the attention given to outward appearances is dictated by an industry." This is one of three different outfits worn by three different models who walked the runway throughout the evening. |

An Argument of Light (2009) Using light as a medium and morse code as a language, the work questions the constancy of the speed of light. Inspired by Einstein's famous E=mc^2 equation and the Variable Speed of Light theory of Joao Magueijo. Each panel strobes numbers in Morse code. The left panel continuously strobes the Constant, measured Speed of Light of 299,792,458 m/s while the right panel strobes random integers. The piece is designed to place the viewer in the middle of an argument as to whether the speed of light is Constant or Variable. |
 |
Jellyfish (2010) Jellyfish is a large inflatable sculpture made from plastic sheeting. |
 |
In-Out (2009) Tom was interested in exploring metaphors through everyday objects and In-Out was his version of a huge drywall screw going in to the earth. |
 |
Untitled (2010) This sculpture was created in response to the assemblage project. The cascade of tiny plastic babies was made to look like rusty metal by application of an iron-bearing paint. |
 |
Untitled (2010) The assignmnet for the assemblage project is to find an object and re-contextualize the object by altering it somehow. Samantha began with a bright and playful rocking horse toy. she inverted this playfuless with black paint, applied metal studs, and barbed wire, which made the horse dark and scary. |
