ITP WINTER SHOW

By VBS Staff

NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program is yet another liberal graduate-studies program tasked with “empowering” its participants. Before you start in with the chorus of groans, rather than making their students feel good about having fallopian tubes or curly hair or a lot of melanin, ITP has gone the opposite route and is teaching them to apply the latest cutting-edge advances in technology to quotidian ventures like art and music and drinking. It’s basically a crazy inventor school for artsy types, so in a way it’s like they’re literally empowering their students, as in giving them the ability to create crazy powers for themselves like robot wings or radioactive jism. Or at least the ability to piece together a piano that will mix you a different drink based on what song you play.

In this edition of Motherboard we travel back in time to ITP’s 2008 Winter expo and sip a drink from that very piano.
