FATE: Blowed Up

FATE Session Proposal 2011:
Blowed Up, or Reverse Engineering A Foundations Program

Imagine a Foundations Program where students must burn every project, superhero powers are assigned to each student, or classes are held in tents on the campus football field. This panel will examine 3 of the most creatively imagined Foundations Programs that will NEVER exist in order to discover the principles, objects or systems missing from the conventional Foundations Program. Presentations will feature video and/or illustrations in a mockumentary style format that aim deconstruct the inner workings of Foundations Programs to order reverse engineer a program that HAS thrown the baby out with the bath water. A discussion on the relevance of these ideas and their innovative underpinnings will follow.

Submissions should be thorough, witty, sarcastic, comical, intelligent AND utterly ridiculous. Panelists are barred from using more than 140 characters of text in any slides or speaking in a monotone. Performative, poetic, or other compelling presentation ideas are welcome! Conventional ideas or papers will NOT be accepted.
