Not only were these artists’ backgrounds diverse, but their practices resulted in an engrossing array of mediums that included audio sculpture, performance, virtual and augmented reality, paper, styrofoam sculpture, and film. All of the artists in residence created compelling public installations and social interventions, which led to plentiful opportunities for local communities and artists to benefit from reciprocal sharing of ideas, techniques and practices, and professional networking.
