The show that brought you the stop-and-frisk robot, the texting hoodie, and code-teaching friendship bracelets, is back on May 19 and 20, when students at the NYU Tisch Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) will mount their annual interactive spring exhibition. The two-day event, free and open to the public, allows attendees to view and interact with what Gizmodo has described as “the weirdest, coolest, most insanely inspired geek projects around.”

Officially known as the “center for the recently possible,” the Tisch ITP program has attracted worldwide attention as an incubator for technologically minded artists seeking to merge the latest in “maker” technology to foster social, political and artistic expression, as well as practical applications. Established in 1979, ITP graduates have gone on to develop internationally renowned products, companies and works of art. Alumni include Dennis Crowley (Foursquare), Tom Igoe (Arduino) and LED visual artist Leo Villareal.

The spring exhibition will be held at the NYU Tisch Building at 721 Broadway, 4th Floor South, New York, NY 10003. This year’s projects will start getting listed on the ITP show website one week before the show. For more information, call 212-998-1880 or email itp.inquiries@nyu.edu.
