Eyebeam, Industry City, Brooklyn / by Les Stuck

I attended a lecture on using block chains to authenticate digital art at Eyebeam’s new home in Industry City. But the real highlight was catching up with an old friend, Eyebeam Director Roddy Schrock

He’s transformed Eyebeam from a showcase for video art into an incubator where artists help push and redefine technology–instead of the other way around. The evening event was presented during the final show for the artist residency program.  Afterwards I spoke with Kelly Rae Aldridge, curator for an exciting new museum project, current.mu.
