 This Wednesday Associate Professor, Nick Puckett will give a talk about the development and current state of *Drop Ceiling*, an interactive installation that has been running and learning 24 hours a day since January 23. The installation explores how Open-Source protocols allow for new forms of playful re-use. The work is currently functioning as a live research and development project that is evolving a complex behavioral language from very limited outputs. I'll be sharing a few insights and discoveries while it is still available to see live. You can learn more, download all the software and hardware, or see what it is currently doing at : [https://github.com/npuckett/Drop-Ceiling](https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fnpuckett%2FDrop-Ceiling&data=05%7C02%7Cwebsupport%40ocadu.ca%7C0cb54e6a15b14b66191608de73baecda%7C06e469d12d2a468fae9b7df0968eb6d7%7C0%7C0%7C639075443873995706%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=H%2FQXkHehCBLupRfc51Aqb2ivIAahyO9A55RyRKeUQd8%3D&reserved=0)
