We have scraps of mylar sitting out on our worktables and I started playing with them. They make amazing patterns as you coil them up on a tabletop. Scraps on my desk. Patterns in the loop. I spent time shaping the strips of mylar as well...

Hi all! So, I was out in Missoula the first week in August and ran across a painter who was more of a performance artist. He hooked up his brushes to an amp so while he painted, he was also making a musical performance. He also had back-up from a drummer and a bass player while he painted.

A simple mouse made with fun fur and an empty film canister. I made this mouse for the May workshop here at the Science Museum. The mouse was pretty simple to construct -- just some fun fur, an empty film canister, and a gear connected right to the motor -- the hard part was making it move convincingly. I wanted it to twitch, but just using the MOTOR_ONFOR block turned the motor on for too long. So my friend Natalie suggested I try programming it using the text language. So I made two blocks.
