Superfund365

Each day for a year, starting on September 1, 2007, Superfund365 visited one toxic site in the Superfund program run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). We began the journey in the New York City area and worked our way across the country, ending the year in Hawaii. Today the archive consists of 365 visualizations of some of the worst toxic sites in the U.S., roughly a quarter of the total number on the Superfund's National Priorities List (NPL). Along the way, we wrote an email update with highlights and conducted video interviews.

Sustainability + Architecture panel

What if walls could breathe? On Saturday, March 29, 2008, Eyebeam presented a panel and showcase on architecture and sustainability as part of its Feedback exhibition. In the past 15 years, some of the most vibrant experiments in architecture have used computer technologies to: develop new types of geometries, with curves, facets, and non-standard shapes fabricate architectural elements directly from digital files without working drawings. Recently, some architects have been using new technologies to explore and realize radically different kinds of spaces that respond to their environment in real time: responsive kinetic architecture.

Alternative Energy Sources + Use/Reuse Workshops

Eyebeam resident artist Jooyoun Paek presents Expand-a-Bag, an inflatable craft workshop. Eyebeam alums Jenny Broutin, Carmen Trudell and Mouna Andraos will lead a workshop in which participants create personal power stations using alternative energy sources.
