So....

I don't want to repeat everything Alex said, but I figure I should post something....

It was explained to us by our former classmate, Alice, who was working on the show that at the beginning, when you first entered the building your picture was taken, and they fingerprinted you. From their computer, they blacked out everything about you that could have been considered sexual.
They even blocked out the female guests necks. There were magazines and black tape on a table as well and it gave the guests the opportunity to censor whatever they wanted (there was not much censored when I looked at it surprisingly)

I wished we had gotten there when it had started but seeing the video in the background while we listened to the last 20 minutes of the discussion was definitely worth the drive.

Going to get some drinks was the best part though :) Andrew (Morehshin's husband) was very impressed(?) with my double major combination: New Media and Mathematics. He told me about some math based art programs I should look up as well as some books.

I didn't get to talk to David Stout as much since he was at the opposite end of the table from me, but just being at the bar with these amazing artists in such a laid-back environment was really mind-blowing and I feel very lucky to have had the opportunity to pick their brains!

I would love to be able to do this more often!
