One of the things they teach here is neon.

The neon session that ended just before I arrived had to complete a group collaboration as their final project. They decided to do an “animated” neon of Michael Jackson moonwalking.

That may not seem suprising given the events and extraordinary news coverage over the last week The weird part is they finished the piece the day before Jackson died.

As a result, the neon sculpture has become a spontaneous memorial with people dropping flowers and small glass objects at the base.
