Martie Sander's & Patrick McCarthy's Final TAD Fellowship Project

Patrick McCarthy & Martie Sanders conducting the Gardentronic Synthesizer at TAD
Roth Mobot's Patrick McCarthy and Sweat Girl's Martie Sanders recently teamed up for their Teaching Artists Development Studio fellowship final project. The results were an informative report, and a community-based experiment that proved to be an elegant interactive hybrid of their art pedagogy.

Martie's and Patrick's research, and more photos, are posted on their project blog -- www.Gardentronics.blogspot.com.
