"Who is Ken Sugimori?" is an installation consisting
of nearly 800 drawings of every Pokemon and mega-evolution in the
Nintendo canon. It's taken artist Johnnie JungleGuts over a year to
complete these drawings and they represent a culmination of his work
within the Pokemon fandom. This opening at Human Resources also includes
a video screening curated by Johnnie which features videos from many
different fandoms and artists. And of course, there's also going to be a
Pokemon tournament, and perler creations by the Pikashop!

- New! Levitation – Brain-trickery is a funny thing. This experiment will have jaws on the floor as participants mimic a superman pose, levitating from the rear-end of a fast-moving vehicle! Those who attend the event will learn the secret power behind this illusion, an impressive example of how things aren’t always what they may seem.
- Small Person in Chair – Designed to trick the eye’s perception, this illusion features a chair that will shrink visitors down to a fraction of their natural size. This illusion will have everyone second-guessing whether it’s the person that is really small or the chair that’s oddly large.
- Upside Down Room – Could Isaac Newton have been wrong? This illusion will have guests standing on the ceiling of a living room leaving everyone to wonder which way is up and which way is down. Could it be? Or, was the room built to see things from a different perspective?
- Head On Table – Pushing the envelope of mystery, this illusion will bring the mind to thinking the impossible: participants heads sitting on a table, detached from their body. In this experiment, mirrors play a deceptive role.
