Her assignment asks you to become a science fiction character by creating and wearing some kind of psionics hardware that enhances your character's abilities. Sarah Green was able to connect this assignment with art history through Rebecca Horn, who created \"body sculptures\" as she was sick in a hospital with lung poisoning.\n
