2025-2026 Season of Programming

Our 2025/2026 season, Speculating on Plurality, a return for Eyebeam and an offer to think, share, play, and connect. The new season of gatherings, making, and togetherness includes free artist conversations; experimental writing and storytelling; and, for the first time since the onset of the pandemic, Eyebeam’s flagship New York City residency.

The series continues with a new artist residency geared towards supporting emerging artists launching this month. The residency builds on Eyebeam’s long history of providing artists with funding and resources to develop bold, challenging work that reflects how technology is shaping the present moment. To date, Eyebeam has supported over 550 artists through its fellowships and residencies, and hundreds more through its exhibitions and public programs.

This month, six New York City–based emerging artists join Eyebeam to imagine plural technological futures through a 12-week residency at NYU Tandon. Each artist receives a $4,000 stipend to support the development of their project, along with access to Eyebeam’s network of peers, mentors, and field experts. Residents will work out of NYU Tandon @ The Yard, a partner facility for integrative research in AR/VR/XR, virtual production, and experiential computing. There, they will have access to top-of-the-line production equipment and hands-on support from the talented practitioners enrolled in NYU Tandon’s Integrated Design and Media (IDM) Master of Science program.
