Annual Showcase

17 Jan 2014 - 1 Feb 2014

Eyebeam's Annual Showcase will once again highlight innovative works produced at the organization during 2013. It is a celebration of Eyebeam artists’ preeminence in research and development of new works and platforms as well as furthering critical thought around culture’s relationship to emergent technology. The Annual Showcase will provide the public an opportunity to engage directly with the artists and creative technologists working at Eyebeam through a series of moderated conversations on Saturday, January 25.

Each year, the organization invites between 15 and 20 artists to join its residency and fellowship programs through a highly competitive open call. Selected artists are awarded a generous stipend, access to Eyebeam’s fabrication tools and working space, and the opportunity to interact with the public through installations, exhibitions, performances, symposia and workshops. This year’s Annual Showcase will be the last in Eyebeam’s Chelsea home, as the organization prepares for its exciting move to a temporary home and, in late 2016, to a new space in Brooklyn’s Downtown Cultural District opposite the BAM Opera House.
