A taste of Northern Spark 2013

As with my recap of Northern Spark 2012, this recap is only a taste of Northern Spark 2013.  Northern Spark offers an incredible amount to experience and is rather overwhelming (particularly if you can’t stay up until 5am).  This year, Northern Spark was held in Lowertown St. Paul.  Instead of being spread out throughout the city, as with last year’s event, everything was condensed in one area.  This made it easy to navigate the event, however, the crowds were a bit overwhelming.  In addition, wait times to participate in interactive art exhibits were often long.  To get a taste of what this great event had to offer, take a look at my pictures below!
