Internship position available: work with Eyebeam’s Curatorial Fellow to research and develop Eyebeam’s digital archive.  2012 marks Eyebeam’s 15th year in operation; we will be gathering data, media, and personal accounts about projects, research groups, exhibitions, performances, lectures/panels, and events that have taken place at Eyebeam during this time.  We will be creating a major database of content that will eventually be translated into an online, user-friendly archive.  The project will be ‘open source’, which means findings and details about our approach will be regularly discussed on Eyebeam’s blog.  This position would be best for someone who has a sincere interest in the field of art and technology, and wants to learn more about Eyebeam’s rich history.

Responsibilities: 

• Collecting data through emails, internal archives, and online;
• Writing brief synopses of findings;
• Organizing content across multiple spreadsheets;
• Compiling media including video and photographs

Requirements:

• Interest in digital preservation and/or history of art and technology;
• Strong organizational, writing, and communication skills;
• Prior experience with archiving, databases, and records management is a major plus;
• Ability to work independently

The intern must be able to commit to 2 full days a week at Eyebeam starting in April for three months.  Please submit your cover letter (highlighting relevant experience) and resume to Lindsay@eyebeam.org.
