RESIDENCY (5th ENG)

RESIDENCY
In collaboration with Hyundai Motor Group, Eyebeam plans to build from the successes of this online program intended to support five finalists to the 5th VH AWARD. It will take place with the following leaders and mentors, unfolding from October 2022 to December 2022.
ABOUT EYEBEAM
Eyebeam was established in 1998, as a resource for artists to engage creatively with technology in an experimental setting. Eyebeam has opened its breadth of support to equitably compensate over 125 artists each year through its diverse programming. Eyebeam has committed to amplifying the voices of artists, inventors, designers, and engineers who show us the horizon of what is possible, creating space for them to imagine the future.

Society’s ever-shifting relationship to technology can be charted through the work of those that have come through our doors over the past two decades. Now more than ever, Eyebeam radically centers artists in the cultural conversation, giving them the support to both interrogate and re-imagine what technology can be and who it is for.
