X-Lab shares the thinking and techniques behind current work by our fellows and residents via the Sandbox: a space inside X-Lab designed for testing and workshopping new works currently in process. Up to four artists at a time will install their work with a focus on getting feedback from the public and sharing their creative processes. It's an excellent opportunity to meet the artists and learn more about their work directly through their creative practice. Each artist's project is designed to engage visitors and open up new thinking around interactive design.

The public is invited to interact with the artists' works during our X-Lab Open Hours: Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, 12PM – 6PM. Docents will lead visitors through the space and introduce artists during those times.

Eyebeam Art + Technology Center’s main exhibition space has been transformed into X-Lab, an open lab environment where we share the ongoing research and practice of our residents and fellows, and offer opportunities for deep public engagement.

Much as an unConference favors a flexible, participant-driven format that values energetic dialogue over talking head presentations, X-Lab might be described as an unExhibition where, rather than present finished works, we provide a space for critical reflection on and participation in the research and production processes at Eyebeam.
