2026 Open Call

We are very excited to announce the 2026 Open Call for the Speculating on Plurality residency, our return to an in-person emerging artist support program, offering NYC-based emerging artists the opportunity to think, share, play, and connect at NYU Tandon @ The Yard in Brooklyn. 

Selected residents receive a $4,000 stipend, access to shared workspace and a dedicated desk, a public platform to share their work and research, and opportunities to engage with partner organizations, visiting professionals, and Eyebeam’s alumni network.

Pictured is Valencia James, a Black dancer wearing a teal baggy-collared sweater, who is smiling, baring her teeth and facing directly at the camera. She stands with her arms bent in front of her, palms facing up as she demonstrates her AI and dance project to a room of participants, not pictured. At this moment, a video projection hits the white wall behind her and a portion of her face, painting nearly the entire image with a strong hue of Byzantine, Hex code #AC42A8, rich tone of medium purple nearing Magenta.

How shall we move forward together?

About Eyebeam

Eyebeam invests in artists who create with technology and explore how it influences the way we live. Our alumni community consists of a diverse cohort committed to creating equitable systems in support of creativity and in service to artists, and society at large. We all come from a variety of cultural, ethnic, and professional backgrounds; our work and the issues we examine together are often provocative, emotional, and urgent. Our alumni’s various artistic and cultural practices are often rooted in a radical perspective of framework around justice. Through their work, we witness how technology imagines new modalities that oppose violent global hierarchies to create possibilities for materialized justice and reframes and repairs historical memories that are sabotaged and erased by existing power structures.
