Pride Sunday!!

To start us off Gabriel set off the alarm getting in! WhOOps!! It’s okay though we got it sorted out just in time for Jane’s 3D from 2D: Intro to Pressfitting and Laser-Cutting Fabrication Tips, where she taught us how to take our 2D laser cuts and snap them into 3D objects. Now I’m ready for the next challenge: turning my 3D prints into 4D.

Then Adam got us to work on our communication skills with So now what? How to communicate and sell your big idea. Awesome, now we just need THAT big idea. It’s out there somewhere. We will find it. One day.

A good distraction from searching for that big idea is playing with electricity and lights. Lots of lights. CHiKA led us on a massive 5 hour exploration of LED object creation in Get Leddy?. Result: We made awesome pulsating LED-sculpture pieces that looked somehow right between TRON, zen-temple and spaceships.

And the magic continued: Allison invited us to Sunday Tarot: Collaborative storytelling with oracle decks. Insights, insights, insights into the future and the past and everything in between and above. Deep.

All of a sudden someone brought rambutans!! And free pizza appeared. And disappeared again within seconds. That's camp. And I’m not supposed to tell you about it because it is SECRET but Josh took us out and about to visit the important places of Basquiat’s life in Secret Basquiat Field Trip. But don’t tell him I told you. And no pictures. Because it is secret. We took a random picture of counselor Alden looking into an empty chips-bag instead - which happened at approximately the same time over at camp. Just a coincidence?!? I am sure there is a connection between both events. Ask Alden.

We finished off with a so so necessary intro and guidance into the wild, fragmented and beautiful world of . openFrameworks!!! with Michael. Finally we can find our ways around this amazing tool. What a Sunday here at camp. All the magic. Here. Two days to go until the show - we can’t wait!
