...must first be alphabetized, which is no easy task, according to Adams. “The first couple weeks you’ll come in and say ‘Ian, what should I do’, but after a while you’ll come in ready to alph,” she says.The alphabetized paper then gets made into applicant folders, for which Anderson has another “ingenious” system for organizing the thousands of applications, according to Adams, where each applicant has both a red and a manila folder in their file.

Mixing a maze with modern technology, this San Francisco installation sensation simulates Samuel Taylor Coleridge's famous hallucinatory dream, the one that brought the world Kubla Khan.
