As per Rhizome:
We're excited to announce the initial cohort making up New Inc.'s new Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) track, a collaboration between Rhizome and New Inc., supported by Nokia Bell Labs. The track is part of Bell Labs’ E.A.T. program, which fosters collaboration between artists and engineers, with a history going back to the 1960s.
New Inc. is the first museum-led cultural incubator, which supports a diverse range of creative practitioners with a values-driven program and safe space for gathering and developing creative projects and businesses. The Experiments in Art and Technology track provides participants with the same resources and opportunities as other New Inc. tracks, however it is geared specifically to individuals and teams working within the structure of an artistic practice. E.A.T offers artists, creative technologists, indie game designers, preservation researchers, interaction designers, and others making and researching born-digital art mentorship from Rhizome and Nokia Bell Labs staff members and other track-specific opportunities.
We are excited to welcome this year's E.A.T. track members to the Rhizome and New Inc. community. Get to know them below!
