I made this preview for kate Weare Company about three weeks ago and they are performing this week in SPLICE at DNA. sharing the program with Deborah Lohse. She got an edge with duets full of raw elegance. They are technically sensual with calculated violence and layered complicity.

Call for CollaboratorsInteractivos? at Eyebeam: Better Than the Real Thing We’re pleased to announce that we (Eyebeam fellows, residents and staff) have selected ten projects—from the 60-plus submitted applications—to be realized during a two-week workshop in late June. But we need help, and that’s where you come in. We are now recruiting collaborators—artists, engineers, musicians, programmers, designers, and hackers—to help bring these projects to life. This is an opportunity to work with international artists including current Eyebeamers Zachary Lieberman, Taeyoon Choi, Jeff Crouse, Friedrich Kirschner, and others. Collaborators will participate in skill-based workshops, attend public lectures and associated events, and be an integral part of the production of exciting new interactive projects. The completed projects will be included in Eyebeam’s Summer 2008 exhibition. To be considered, send us a letter outlining your skill set and what you think you could contribute to the workshops, with a CV (in word or pdf format; no image attachments please) to interactivosinfo AT eyebeam DOT org by May 31. Selected collaborators will be notified June 3. Interactivos? was initiated two years ago by the Medialab–Prado program and the Madrid City Council. This is the first time it has taken place outside Spain. The full list of projects, with details on the kind of collaborative help we are looking for can be found online.

New from our LabsSteve Lambert launches Add-Art
Add-Art is a free Firefox add-on that replaces advertising on websites with curated art images. Created as a open source project in Eyebeam’s R&D OpenLab, developers are encouraged to contribute to the project though Eyebeam’s development site (which includes a wiki, ticket system, and code repository). For more info: http://add-art.org. For a video introducing Add-Art, with installation directions, see: http://vimeo.com/1075987 Steve is also hosting a remix contest: http://fffff.at/intro-to-add-art-f-remix-contest/ Teta Haniya and the Secrets of Syrian Seduction
After decades of running her kinky Syrian lingerie store in the Hamidiya souk of Damascus, Teta Haniya has arrived in America bearing gifts. Drawing on more than 60 years of Islamic teachings on seduction, and updating it using her arsenal of kitschy technology, Teta Haniya hijacks the Western panty, triggering the sexual liberation of American women. http://www.haniyassecrets.com Teta Haniya’s Secrets is a line of electronic lingerie made by Eyebeam R&D OpenLab fellow Ayah Bdeir and graphic designer Luma Shihabeldine. See pictures and videos of Teta Haniya’s Secrets (including the flying panty, ponpon panty, fiberoptic panty, talking panty, magnet panty), from last week’s event on wearable technology at Eyebeam: http://www.flickr.com/photos/26390070@N03/sets/72157605278503947/ Pocket Lightcoder
Digital communication relies on the performance of networks of infrastructure that enable the transmission of messages. In the event of a massive breakdown of these networks in a natural disaster or social crisis, how will we transmit information? Have no fear: Eyebeam senior fellow Jerry Juárez has designed a new tool for the end of the world: The Pocket Lightcoder, a rebozo-style bag and communication device to explore the possibilities of survival in an urban environment. There are only a few Pocket Lightcoders left, so if you need one for your survival kit or want to find out more about her upcoming “light-mobs”, shoot her an email at: .---- . .-. .-. -.--@eyebeam.org CommunityMay 31: Graffiti Research Lab at the Brooklyn Academy of MusicThe Graffiti Research Lab will be tagging the side of the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Peter J.

 | What do tadpoles and toilets have in common?Hint: Feedback. That’s right, Feedback, our show on sustainability closes this Saturday, so you only have a few days left to see the “mind-blowing” work on display. Added incentive: a day of workshops followed by a closing reception—perhaps this preview will pique your interest? There’s a wealth of new material online: podcasts, guest reBlogger Andrew Price from GOOD Magazine, and, of course, information on how to get tickets for our May 6 benefit celebrating freedom and creativity. The fun’s just around the corner … . This Week at Eyebeam:April 19: FEEDBACK Closing: Sustainability Action Day: Toxic Tours + Urban Gardening April 25: Interactivos?

Sustainability Action Day: Toxic Tours + Urban Gardening Join Feedback artists Natalie Jeremijenko, Leah Gauthier, and Brooke Singer for a day of workshops. Natalie Jeremijenko will lead a surface-level noPARK action on a plot of pavement in Chelsea (within a short walk of Eyebeam, exact location TBA the day of the event). noPARK is a public art project to create “no parking zones" of micro-engineered green spaces to prevent storm water runoff, use foliage to stabilize the soil, and provide a durable low maintenance surface cover. In order to help raise funds for the noPARK project that the artist plans to implement throughout the city, limited-edition potted plants will be sold as "shares" of the project (complete with certificates) at Eyebeam for $10. (A single noPARK zone is estimated to cost approximately $6000 to implement.) Shareholders will be encouraged to take their plants to the site of the April 19 noPARK for the 3-6PM action. Leah Gauthier will lead Sow-In, in which participants will distribute hundreds of seed pots to community gardeners across the city for transplant, care, harvest, and seed saving. Brooke Singer with Michael Heimbinder and Emily Gallagher will conduct a virtual toxic tour followed by a hands-on workshop. The virtual tour will focus on a site in Greenpoint, Brooklyn that is currently undergoing contamination evaluation by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and the Department of Health. Together they will explore the region’s historic and current industries, detail the contaminants of concern and discuss potential remedies. In the second part of the workshop, the artists will provide resources for participants to identify toxic exposures in their own neighborhoods. The workshop will end with a group discussion of effective organizing strategies and ways to develop activist networks . Brooke Singer is a New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) 2007 Artist Fellowship recipient. This presentation is co-sponsored by Artists & Audiences Exchange, a NYFA public program.
