MIXER, Eyebeam’s quarterly showcase for audiovisual performance and interactive art, goes back to the future – to the dawn of the imagined internet.

On Saturday, April 9, MIXER: Past Futures transforms Eyebeam’s vast West Chelsea space into an immersive environment combining video, music, design, and fashion to evoke visions of the future – both utopian and dystopian – as depicted through literature, movies, and video games of the recent past. MIXER: Past Futures conjures the spirit of both early internet theories and visual style, suggesting an alternate version of our own current reality, reflecting what was and what could be.

We give you the numbers; you make them speak to us.

Every year, Americans fill out income tax forms and make their payments to the IRS. It’s an important civic duty, but do we really know where our tax dollars go? Using data provided byWhatWePayFor.com, Eyebeam challenges you to create data visualizations that make it easier and more interesting for taxpayers to understand just how the government spends our money.

Keep EYEBEAM the leading Art + Technology Center in the USA.

Support adventurous artists, hackers, coders, and creative technologists in developing innovative art+technology. We are an incubator for creative research, open culture, and open source technology. We support artists by giving them access to tools, providing professional development, opportunities for collaboration, and most of all an incredible community.

Whether your interests are in learning, sustainability, data-vis, or pop culture, we have artists working on ideas worth supporting.

Now we ask you, as a friend of Eyebeam, to contribute to their work too.

Now through December 31, your gift to Eyebeam will work twice as hard. All donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar by a generous gift, a challenge we hope you can help us meet.
