Eyebeam will be participating in ElectroSmog, a new festival that revolves around the concept of Sustainable Immobility. The festival, which takes place simultaneously at many locations around the world, will introduce and explore the concept of sustainable immobility in both theory and practice, with discussions, workshops, and performances taking place at each of the festival partners' home bases.
Eyebeam will run two events on Saturday, March 20:
- ElectroSmog SkillShare: Tools and Models for Online Collaboration
- Urban Wilderness Action Center workshop & collaboration
Eyebeam will also video stream live events from the other participating festival locations on Thursday, March 18 - Saturday, March 20 in Eyebeam's main exhibition space. Check back here for a detailed schedule of live streaming events.
NYC public school students between the ages of 13–18 are invited to spend their Thursday afternoons, from 3–6PM, at Eyebeam. Each month will feature a series of free hands-on workshops, starting at 4PM, where students will have the opportunity to work with different open-source software programs as used by artists and technologists.
Thursdays in March: Make your own Wordpress website with Eyebeam Intern, Georg Pedersen. Graphic artist and designer Georg Pedersen will introduce the versatile and free blogging platform, Wordpress to students. Students will learn what makes a good website in terms of content, visual layout, and functionality, and then get to create their own webiste over the course of the month.
NOTE: This is a free program and students are welcome to drop in without RSVP'ing. Computer access is first come first serve. In the case of too many students, students will be invited to team-up and collaborate on shared projects. Students who drop-in cannot be guaranteed a computer and are strongly encouraged to RSVP.
