An exhibition at Eyebeam and The American Museum of the Moving Image

On the occasion of Ars Electronica's 25th anniversary, a series of exhibitions, screenings, and lectures will take place in New York City from May 21 to July 18. Generously supported by SAP and hosted by the American Museum of the Moving Image, Eyebeam, and the Austrian Cultural Forum New York, these events will feature outstanding media art projects from the past twenty-five years as well as inspiring new developments from the Ars Electronica Futurelab and its artist-in-residence program. Additional symposia, artist talks, screenings, and workshops will provide not just interesting historical information but also comprehensive insight into new directions in digital art.
