Boston Tea Party Redux

The theme of this SIGGRAPH art exhibit is appropriate for a location just a few long city blocks from the site of the most famous tea party of them all: teapots!

There is a large origami teapot folded from a single sheet of paper, photographs of a bizarre mountain shaped like a teapot and a mosaic of the Boston skyline, composed of thousands of tiny teapot photos.

But the real eye-catcher is one that you can't see at all. It's called the "Air Teapot." It's invisible. But if the viewer holds a special pen, it will trace a three-dimensional outline of a tea kettle to the music of "I'm a Little Teapot."
