A consistent thread through work produced at Eyebeam has been Urban Research and Urban Interventions. As a result The Urban Research Group was created to engage in a discussion on the functions of public space, demonstrate new forms of urban communication, and develop innovative street art that identifies and exploits pre-existing structures, systems and public infrastructure of the city.

The Urban Research Group also has a participatory function for Eyebeam: fellows and residents organize excursions to locations as varied as the Federal Reserve and the Freedom Tunnel, a legendary graffiti corridor and shelter for the Mole people in the 80s. The intention is to share perspectives and interpretations of the city, in a spirit of adventure.  These discussions then often lead to an engagement with public through art, workshops and events hosted at Eyebeam.
