Reception An evening of celebration, art, performance and friends featuring some of New York City's finest creative talent. (in alphabetical order)  Photo by Anakin Koenig AKAirways exhibits their whimsical inflatable art installations. They are transient and ephemeral, dependent on interaction and engage the environment in which they are deployed. Works are installed with the intent of interacting with or complementing other works and spaces; be good neighbors. AKAirways aims to inspire and unlock the potential of the audience by turning its members into collaborators, to promote the creative process in which there is always an ongoing experiment: Playing, learning, sharing, and collaborating. AKAirways work has been presented in a variety of contexts, from the Museum of Modern Art to underground raves, from NASA to the Whitney Biennale.

Based in Brooklyn, New York, PMP has grown to be a source of collaboration with people from a wide array of backgrounds. PMP works with architects, designers, musicians, performers, and anyone interested in producing prints for the street, galleries, apparel, etc. PMP is committed to promoting awareness and social transformation through the creation of art and clothing, both within and outside of the gallery and fashion systems. PMP founders Garrison Buxton and Ray Cross also run the Ad Hoc Art gallery in Bushwick, Brooklyn.
 Taylor Kuffner (aka Zemi17) and The League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots (LEMUR) present the GamelaTron. The GamelaTron is a traditional set of Indonesian gamelan instruments augmented with robotic mechanisms, creating a robotic gamelan. It is the worldÔs first and only full robotic Gamelan Orchestra. The compositions draw from classical Indonesia Gamelan music from the courts of Yogyakarta and the sacred mountains of the Bali Aga and are mixed with an electronica and techno sensibility. The result is beautiful hybrid of hypnotic and invigorating acoustically resonating bronze.
 Photo by Amy Whitehouse From the streets of Bali to Carnegie Hall, from meditative throat singing to high-energy Hip Hop rhymes, Akim Funk Buddha creates borderless performance art, fusing sounds and movements. An avid world traveler and self-described old-school B-boy MC, he is known for his holistic approach to Hip Hop, drawing from a full spectrum of cultural traditions and artistic disciplines. Rhyming, beat-boxing, mouth and body percussion, story-telling, break-dancing, Mongolian throat-singing, Indonesian monkey chants, body-balancing, martial arts, tap and circus arts are seamlessly blended to create distinctly spiritual yet urban sonic and visual compositions.
