I’m still sort of disbelieving that I’m going to be graduating tonight. Not going to the university-wide one (which suffers from the triple whammy of being gigantic, outdoors and in the morning) but the slightly more intimate Salute that’s just for Tisch students. The largest faction is from ITP, which suits me just fine as we will bring the awesome to Madison Square Garden. Got my cap and gown and am ready to go! It’s been the shortest, most fun three years of my life.
Anyway, if you’re in New York the next two days, you really should drop by the ITP Spring Show and see what everyone’s been working on all semester. I don’t have anything in it as I finished my thesis last semester, but volunteered to take photographs so I’ll be there both days; if I’ve never met you before or you can’t find me on the floor, just ask a student if they’ve seen me around. There are a lot of interesting projects so it’ll be well worth your time to drop by.
Some of the ones I recommend you make sure to see are: Meghan Trainor‘s With Hidden Numbers, Robyn Overstreet’s Data Booth, Emily Conrad’s 2mph, Derek Wang’s boards, John Geraci’s FoundCity (pimped out here previously), Matty Sallin’s Presence Frames, Ian Curry’s Pantopic, Karen Bonna’s SubAlerts and Payphone Warriors by Gregory Trefry, Abraham Burmeister, Kenji Sawai, HyungJung Kim and Ron Shely.
Show hours:
Tuesday, May 10th, 5 to 9 p.m.
