Artists in residence:

Torkwase Dyson, 2014 Fellow

Torkwase will be showcasing material from her project The Color of Crude, a series of abstract video compositions that address the intersection of industry, geography, identity and the culture of aquatic ecology in the Gulf of Mexico. Recording underwater approximately 10-15 feet, she uses the texture of the moving surface water and sunlight to obscure steal structured engineered for extraction oil.

Nancy Nowacek, 2014 Fellow

Nancy will be showcasing a table displaying her ongoing project Citizen Bridge, a temporary pedestrian bridge planned to span the Buttermilk Channel from Brooklyn to Governor’s Island.

Allison Burtch, F/W 2014 Resident Artist

Allison is making a sine-wave generator that creates frequencies at 24khz, enough to block iPhones and Androids microphones from audio recording.

Chloe Varelidi + Atul Varma, F/W 2014 Resident Artists

Chloe and Atul are building themed arcades with teens in Brooklyn by developing a browser based tool called Minicade that makes it super easy to collaboratively create an arcade of mini games with your friends while learning to code along the way. They are also building physical cabinets in a series of pop-up workshops with the community in Brooklyn.
