Mixed-media artist, Massachusetts College of Art and Design

A student at Mass Art's Studio for Interrelated Media, which ties together art and technology, Froslie came to Boston from Reno having automated old toys, such as an etch-a-sketch that drew on its own.

Once here, his vision grew larger: He wanted to create a mythology, like that in a computer game, and objects -- some automated, some not -- that spring from that mythology.
