E Y E B E A M an atelier styled organization that explores the intersection of arts and sciences has set up a three day program to work with emerging artists, particularly artists exiting graduate programs. Read more about the selection process here.

“Eyebeam has developed Circuit in response to the need for emerging artists, particularly those exiting graduate-level programs (ie artists who have not shown their work in a professional setting or outside of university) to exhibit work and receive professional critique and exposure to networks within the art and technology community. This three-day intensive program offers a particular group of artists working and experimenting with new tools and practices, the opportunity to:

– meet fellow artists working with similar media;

– have the experience of exhibiting work at an art and technology center in New York City

– receive critique from peers and professional curators, gallerists, artists, academics, writers, theorists, etc.

– publicly present work during a public event at Eyebeam to gain feedback from peers, professionals and the public

The program will run three times per year, with a maximum of 6 artist participants per Circuit program. Please see the information below regarding the selection process and application timeline.

Selected artists will exhibit their work in Eyebeam’s exhibition space for three days, during which time they will take part in a critique organized by Eyebeam’s Education and Curatorial staff, and present and/or perform their projects during a public event at Eyebeam at the end of the three days.

Artists interested in applying to take part in Circuit should view this program as a way to publicly prototype work under development (ie thesis projects that are ready for the next level of presentation), and take part in a rare structured critical discourse outside of the academic setting. Eyebeam is interested in projects ranging from moving image, sound and physical computing works, to software, websites, technical prototypes, performances, workshops and other forms of public interventions.”
