Eyebeam is pleased to host Open Studios for its 2009 Senior Fellows, Resident Artists, and Student Residents at Eyebeam’s state-of-the-art design, research, and fabrication studio; showcasing video performance, wearable technologies, code and humor, party technology, and sustainablity design.
We are Professionalized, Pop-Up Public Interventionistas (PPUPI] making temporary environments for people not to stand anytime (that is, to interact, relax and do something).
We mass produce spaces and experiences to: • Transform public space; • Build instant community; • Conduct non-monetary exchange/trade; • Perform constant community research; • Enact reality shifts; • Intervene in under-utilized space; • Recycle the city's surplus detritus into productive public art.
To do this, we make all different kinds of portable platforms and mobile stations for people to give, take and make. We also firmly believe in wearing matching outfits.
Recipes for an Encounter functions as a literary extension to the 2008 group exhibition "Kits for an Encounter" at Vancouver's Western Front, which consisted of work that actively engages the viewer by providing the necessary components for instigating or troubling the notion of an encounter. This collection of texts, diagrams, and illustrations provides further "how-to" instruction for relational projects in the manner of a recipe book.
