Lady bug
So why do I love The New School so much? Because of things like this senior project by a student I know well. It describes itself as a performance seeking to explore the idea that religion, science, magic, and technology are all terms for the same thing—each their own language explaining the same phenomenon. I wasn't able to attend but was happy to bump into another student (at the Occupation of the University Center) who was, and they told me all about it excitedly. It apparently involved a large yellow-green blob giving a sort of lecture with powerpoint slides on the subject of parthenogenesis from the Virgin Mary to Ada Lovelace to ladybugs. I've asked for a video!
