Stop the Incinerator Musical!



We are a group of students working together to stop the nations’ largest trash burning incinerator from being built less than a mile from our schools in Curtis Bay. The incinerator would pollute our air with 240 pounds of mercury and 1000 pounds of lead each year. We are fighting to make our human right to breathe clean air a reality.

On Nov 1st we are running a 5k race to raise grassroots donations to keep our work going! Please consider donating today!

Artspeak Incinerator Project, commission for (un)SCENE Art Show, NYC, March 2015



The Artspeak Incinerator Project is an interactive video installation created by artist Bill Claps. This video documents the Artspeak Incinerator in action at the MOMA, Guggenheim, Whitney, New Museum, ARTFORUM, Gagosian Gallery, and other locations.

During Armory Arts Week Claps utilized crowdsourcing and a technology interface connected to Twitter to source examples of artspeak from various art fairs, publications, and institutions throughout New York City. The artspeak was translated into Morse code (representing the art world’s distinct coded language) and digitally incinerated while being projecting onto the facades of art institutions throughout the city, releasing it into the atmosphere in a purified state.

Alejandra Parra of RADA, the Environmental Rights Action Network speaks about the project at the march.

Startup Incinerator – Show Spec



So you want to be an entrepreneur? That’s awesome! The Startup Incinerator is here to help you build your team and teach you many of the skills you’ll need to get funding and interest in your fledgling company: skills like developing a business model, doing user research, building MVP’s, pitching effectively, and more.

Over the course of 52 hours you build and launch a product, adding members to your team after every round of judging. Losing teams will have to reintegrate into somebody else’s winning idea or else pivot and attempt re-entry in a wildcard round. By the end of the competition, not only will you have a great team and a killer idea, but you will have the opportunity to pitch in front of investors.

A twist on the classic accelerator story, we’re recycling good entrepreneurial talent off of bad ideas, and onto the good ones. Welcome, to Startup incinerator.
