If a recent show of work from the New York University Interactive Telecommunications Program (ITP) is any indication, the student-artists there are having way more fun than anyone in graduate school should. From hacking a piano to mix and dispense cocktails to rigging a Twitter-powered mobile of birds, students married tech to whimsy for their 2008 winter show. ITP, which bills itself as a "hi-tech fun house," is a two-year graduate program in alternative media, in which students design games, build musical instruments and create works of interactive art.

Take a peek at some of the highlights of the projects exhibited at last week's winter extravaganza in a photo slide show.

It’s Time to Stand Up for Science

If you enjoyed this article, I’d like to ask for your support. Scientific American has served as an advocate for science and industry for 180 years, and right now may be the most critical moment in that two-century history.

I’ve been a Scientific American subscriber since I was 12 years old, and it helped shape the way I look at the world. SciAm always educates and delights me, and inspires a sense of awe for our vast, beautiful universe. I hope it does that for you, too.

If you subscribe to Scientific American, you help ensure that our coverage is centered on meaningful research and discovery; that we have the resources to report on the decisions that threaten labs across the U.S.; and that we support both budding and working scientists at a time when the value of science itself too often goes unrecognized.

In return, you get essential news, captivating podcasts, brilliant infographics, can't-miss newsletters, must-watch videos, challenging games, and the science world's best writing and reporting. You can even gift someone a subscription.

There has never been a more important time for us to stand up and show why science matters. I hope you’ll support us in that mission.

Thank you,

David M. Ewalt, Editor in Chief, Scientific American
