<small>Blowup is a new series of events and exhibitions that
explore contemporary questions from multiple viewpoints, curated
by Michelle Kasprzak. Blowup zooms in on ideas, bringing into
focus clear pictures of how art, design, philosophy, and
technology are transforming our lives -- or reinforcing the
status quo. The first edition “Wild Things” will take place at
July 7, it will examine art and design projects that are created
with animals in mind as the end users and active participants –
not people.<br>
