Plus, it's an art school proj that will actually help them with their upcoming jobs at the grocery store. posted by jfuller at 4:46 AM on November 12, 2005
Did anyone else find it interesting that most of the creations centered around food or food-related items? As though driven subliminally by the fact that they were created using cans? posted by deemer at 5:45 AM on November 12, 2005

The firm I work for participates in the event annually, and It is a blast. Over the past , we have had some great ideas (lava lamp made with cans of beans at the base, and wesson oil layed on it's side for the lamp portion) and some that were good on paper but didn't pan out (a "museum" of sorts where we walked around Dallas collecting signs from the homeless for 10 bucks the using those signs as props in the display). It was powerful, but most people just want to see the cutesy things you can make with cans. We abandoned social commentary after that year. They changed the rules to gear toward objects the mass public would respond to.
Oh well.
Still a very fun event though. posted by Benway at 1:50 PM on November 12, 2005
