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.
Stephen Duncombe, along with Steve Lambert, both consider themselves engaged citizens and agree that using art and culture to transform the world is a good idea. But they are both haunted by the same question: How do we gauge the success of our projects? Hell, how do we even think about success when our goal is utopia?
Fred Benenson will be collaborating with Senior Fellow Michael Mandiberg on One For The Commons, and other initiatives to encourage open licensing in the arts and design community. Fred is the Product Manager for Creative Commons.
Jessica left the 24th grade at MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab where she tried to (unsuccessfully) omni-task a robotics Ph.D. into her teaching, writing, art exhibition and nap schedule. Before attending graduate school, Jessica spent 4 years in the entertainment industry working for Comedy Central, managing comedians and assisting political pundit and comedian Al Franken.
Jessica was at Eyebeam as an R&D OpenLab fellow during 2007/08 to make robotic furniture, lighting, architecture and wearables with particular emphasis on reactive work/live environments and alternative energy sources. She returns to Eyebeam as an honorary Research Associate for 2009.
Jessica wants to make new connections in your brain (non-invasively).
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.
