Error 404 @ The Andy Warhol Museum

Minesweeper @ Carnegie Museum of Art
JUNE 2013
Bill & Jackie were special guests at Carnegie Museum of Art's Culture Club event in Heinz Architectural Center, where they offered free tutorials for how to play The App Expo's newly updated version of Minesweeper. It was a real mess. Lots of explosions but no casualties.
@ TechShop, Pittsburgh: A Workshop for Kids
AUGUST 2013

Top Secret Residency @ The Pgh Glass Center OMG!
OCTOBER 2013
The App Expo completed the Idea Furnace mini-residency at The Pittsburgh Glass Center to produce a top-secret prototype that is so top-secret that we shouldn't even have mentioned it just now.

Las Vegas: A Residency
MARCH 2014
The App Expo recently completed a self-designed mini-residency in Las Vegas.

Bill & Jackie returned to "report out" during the 2014 GA/GI Festival at Most Wanted Fine Art Gallery.
(Video documentary coming May 1, 2014.)
The DRSG
JUNE 2014 and continuing into the future...
Feeling guilty about their role in the development of the condition "digital dementia," Bill and Jackie invite real live humans to set their technology aside for an hour while they participate in their therapeutic meetings of The Digital Reliance Support Group. Look for additional DRSG meetings this year in Pittsburgh, Austin, and New York!
