Brittany Hodson
Going by CreationsByBreezy, Brittany as created an optical illusion resembling city buildings, inspired by 80’s art trends; made to trick the eye into slightly blurring by using chromatic aberration as a painting technique. With two identical sides angled in and sloping down, the illusion is even more dramatized and enticing.
Emily Kray

Griffin Dennen, Tyson Luehe, Phil De Coning, and Ben Schmidt

Joey Miscio and Michael Miscio
For their installation named “Surveillance” they are constructing an 8 x 8 foot wall that embodies three screens connected to a single infrared camera. The camera will be centered towards the top of the piece pointing down, and each screen will mirror that single camera's point of view.
The relationship between human beings and the camera is captivating. Everyone has a different reaction when seeing themselves projected digitally.
They are interested to see what types of interactions people have with this piece as the concept of surveillance is commonly one-sided.
Josh Russell & Eduardo Aguilar
Josh and Eduardo are constructing an abstract hallway that creates a spiraling illusion the farther you step inside. Blue, purple, pink, and white neon lights are meant to emulate the pallet of midnight through a bright city. The entrance of the hallway will also be a great spot to capture photos with friends and family at the festival!
