- kathryn e. martin, alumna, Foundations and Pre-College Faculty – whose new installation work shows “a small sampling of what can be done to an entire wall or environment” by dissecting a new, eco-friendly form of traditional packing peanuts.
- Brandon Bauer, alumnus and Time-Based Media Faculty – whose “State of the Union” video/digital animation and potent tragicomedy uses humor to highlight the gestures of the proceedings in televised presidential addresses.

Running concurrently with both parts is “Project Identity” – the sabbatical work of Foundations Associate Professor James Barany. A yearlong animated collaboration with more than 700 students from 20 schools in 10 states, “Project Identity” is the students’ story of “who and “where” they are – physically, emotionally and collectively. The final animated work will be submitted to national and international film festivals.
