Over at NYC Resistor, we put together a little team to enter the Jello Mold Competition at Gowanus Studio Space. The team members were me, Astrida Valigorsky, Mimi Hui, and Catarina Mota.

After all my jello melted, on the second day of the festival I rebuilt the JelTone with fruit salad instead, and here it is:
