Jesse Lackey discussed and demonstrated Electroluminescent Wire ("EL Wire"), a novel type of "wire" that glows when AC is applied. Cool to the touch, flexible, available in several colors, and battery-powerable, it is a staple of Burning Man but not often seen on the East coast. Wire of various colors, drivers to power it, and a homebrew MIDI sequencer board was available for hands-on audience experimentation.
