Artists as Agents of Social Change workshop begins this Saturday!
Please join us this summer for a month and a half of actions, activism and public interventions.
Sign up for the Artists as Agents of Social Change package (3 workshops) for $75. All sessions require a reservation.

Part 1 : Learn about the practice of 3 different artists and take part in group actions.

This Saturday, July 14 launches Eyebeam’s Artists as Agents of Social Change series, as part of our Summer School program. Participants will have the opportunity to hear how three artists are actively engaging the public and altering spaces with their practice. Adam Bobbette, Steve Lambert and Robert Ransick will present. Following the presentations, Steve Lambert will lead an action out into the streets of NYC.

This day will serve as an opportunity to gain information about and inspiration for the projects that participants will be able to build with the presenters during the following evening clinics:

Part 2 : Choose one evening in this section to develop your own action, with the guidance and support of the artist leading the clinic.

Clinic 1: Tuesday, July 17: 7-10pm
Steve Lambert
Participants will have the opportunity to collectively conjure and plan an action, based on Steve’s lo-tech, but engaging interventionist techniques often involving dispensing new and/or altering existing signs, based on anti-advertising strategies.

Clinic 2: Thursday, July 19: 7-10pm
Architectural Interventions in Public Space
Participants will be working with lo-tech and easily accessible materials to create architectural interventions in public space. Our purpose is both research and production. The workshop will be concerned with questions and themes of sustainability and land use. How can we build in public in such a way as to draw attention to these themes and create alternatives? The workshop will draw from 19th century style forays, Sun Ra’s Sunology, the nesting habits of certain types of blackbirds and weaver birds and the architectural practices of barnacles and parasites.

Clinic 3: Tuesday, July 24: 7-10pm
neuroTransmitter
Exploring the art of radio and broadcast for the purpose of public interventions. Learn how to use neuroTransmitter’s com_muni_port (currently on view in Eyebeam’s exhibition, Source Code), a self-contained backpack transmitter for short range radio broadcasting, for disseminating information and engaging public participation.

Participants in the three clinics will bring their actions to the streets and present their ideas and experiences in a public event on Saturday, July 28 @ 1pm.

Part 3: Bring your action to the streets.
Saturday, July 28
1:00 - 6:00 PM

The conclusion of Summer School and Eyebeam’s Digital Day Camp program. Participants in both programs will present their ideas for participatory projects, and work with members of the public to bring their actions to the streets.

SOURCE CODE: A 10-Year Retrospective of Programming, Eyebeam Style
May 31 - August 11, 2007

Join us for our latest exhibition, SOURCE CODE: A 10-Year Retrospective of Programming, Eyebeam Style. Since 1997, artists, programmers, hackers, activists, technologists, kids and adults have come to Eyebeam to share ideas, find collaborators, experiment with new tools and create new work. The projects in Source Code - the first of three exhibitions presenting the very best of creative exploration at Eyebeam - frame technologies, generate new processes and offer the audience a platform to contemplate the impact of technology on everyday life.

The artists and collectives participating in the exhibition are: Cory Arcangel, Carrie Dashow, eteam, Nina Katchadourian, Jennifer and Kevin McCoy, MediaShed, neuroTransmitter, Steve Lambert, Alexander Galloway / RSG and artists using RSG’s Carnivore - a surveillance tool for data network that serves that data to various creative interfaces called “clients” to make their work: Jonah Brucker-Cohen, Golan Levin, MTAA and Mark Napier.
