Curators of Philagrafika 2010, a city wide arts festival, say the purpose of the festival is to stretch the idea of printing as a creative tool. One example is the work of Pepón Osório, a professor at Temple’s Tyler School of Art. Osorio enlarged an x-ray image of his mother's skull and had it printed on 100 pounds of confetti. "It took me only, like, 7 months to convince a printer to do it. Everyone who I went to said forget it, you're crazy, I'm not doing this," Osorio said. "Think of confetti — how after a carnival the streets are covered with white confetti. Printing right on top of it. That's what I did." His piece is on the floor of the gallery at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Art.
