Mohanty, a trained printmaker, discussed how his exposure to video art and performance during his matriculation at the National Museum Institute, New Delhi, led him to his more recent focus on examining “how algorithmic networking, digitalization, data mining, accumulation,” shape public perception about natural calamities within marginalized communities.

For his VH AWARD commissioned video project, “Rice Hunger Sorrow,” adapted from the Mahabharata, an epic mediating on the death of Lord Krishna and the subsequent mass flood drowning of the city of Dwarka, is interpolated into a contemporary context. Mohanty brings references from recent anthropegenic disasters that have irrversibly altered landscapes across coast of the Bay of Bengal, shooting video in Odisha, “where [the] recurring tsunamis, super cyclones, and land erosion” are constantly “changing geopolitics, culture and landscapes.” This video-based exploration, illustrates how new technologies and their manufactured common aesthetics affect the ‘solidarity’ debate around ecological issues.

📺Inspired by the FRIES model of consent—Freely Given, Reversible, Informative, Enthusiastic, Specific—Artist Xin Xin, tells us they developed “TogetherNet” alongside software developer, Charlotte Yaqing Wen, Eyebeam alums and lead project writer Neema Githere, and project advisor Lauren Lee McCarthy, .
•
🔮
TogetherNet, a “peer-to-peer communication software designed for micro communities to archive private and public chat logs,” connects the ideas of “sovereignty, democracy, and community as they relate to archives, including those in the digital sphere.” The project melds the ethos of data transparency and consent, with the purpose of transforming digital rights policies, such as the right to be forgotten, into an embodied practice that reimagines online social interaction and the protocols and architecture used to connect us all.

💐“During the start of the COVID-19 lockdowns… I found that I was missing a way to connect socially online without resorting to using a multibillion-dollar US-based company.” Eyebeam alum artist Constant Dullaart, shares with art writer Cassie Packard, .
•
Starting in 2020, Dullaart created common.garden, “an artisanal social exhibition platform… based on spontaneous audio/video interaction.” Wanting a “grass-roots lockdown alternative to the chess club or neighborhood bar,” he invites digital peers to “meet each other in preferred contexts without a steep learning curve or other barriers to access,” and curators from all over the world to realize a project of any kind in a ‘garden.’ Dullaart now runs DISTANT.gallery, .gallery, a foundation that runs on top of common.garden’s software, which has hosted over 40 exhibitions with artists from across the globe, from NYC, Baghdad, Shiraz, Amsterdam, Bogota, Kinshasa, Seoul, and many more.

📺Back in 2023 Eyebeam alum artist and filmmaker Riar Rizaldi, shares with art writer Cassie Packard, , his interests in the ways that “fictions, and the world-building that happens through them, can create imagination around present issues.”

For his VH AWARD commissioned video project, “Fossilis” (2023), Rizaldi generates a story of future paleo-media-archeologists uncovering mountains of electronic “carcasses” buried underneath tropical landscapes of the Global South, fossil relics that were left behind by ancient humans, us. The researcher uses these fossils as datasets to virtually “construct worlds where this electronic waste can be observed.” The artist cinematically presents climate issues through the lens of indonesia, where in Bangka Island, a ceaseless deluge of un-degradable electronic wastes shipped from the US and many parts of the imperial core, the artist imagines these speculative artifacts to serve how humans might understand nature in the future.

New year, new edition of ‘Feed’ will be featured here on IG, highlighting oral history interviews conducted by Cassie Packard, , an art writer and editor at . Eyebeam looks at four artists whose emergent explorations address the issues and ideas most critical to building the futures we seek. In the artist’s examinations of technologies and their near-compulsory and exploitative integration into every facet of our lives, they scrutinize the altered conditions of our relationships with ourselves, our (digital and natural) ecosystems, and each other. 🔗Links in bio!🔗

Riar Rizaldi, →
“exploring how technology is understood by people who live in a humid, tropical area that is, on one hand, a dumping ground for electronic waste, and on the other, a center for natural resources like tin that are used to manufacture those same objects.”
•
Constant Dullaart, →
“Reality can be an oppressive construct; to be challenged at all times. Art can prompt you to see differently and shift your perspective. Artists can dream up incorrect, weird, non-efficient, non-solutionary uses of technology and different modes of using technology that don’t involve the outrageous data mining that we’ve become accustomed to.”
•
Xin Xin, →
“Being an artist is akin to asking questions that nobody really has answers to, prototyping from that, and—hopefully—stimulating new thoughts, new ideas, or new ways forward. It’s kind of like putting a ball in the world and seeing, does anyone catch it? How is it caught, and what happens next?”
•
Paribartana Mohanty, →
“In the socioeconomic background I come from, the question of ‘technology’ boils down to ecosystems of access and freedom, which relate to factors like class and caste. First, you enable access, which allows for scope; then there’s the possibility of expanding the technology from a human perspective.”

In October, we announced Speculating on Plurality, a program calling on artists to imagine new frameworks, interventions, or inventions addressing hyper-contemporary issues and ideas most critical to building the (plural) futures we seek.

In November, we kicked off the season with Urgent Inquiries, moderated alumni conversations at Secret Riso Club, inviting artists back into dialogue with our community. These conversations, featuring Eyebeam alums Xin Xin , Bahareh Khoshooee , Ari Melenciano , Tega Brain , and Sam Lavigne , and moderators Vivian Chui and Julia Kaganskiy , set the foundation for alums to contribute to the ideas that will be explored in the upcoming season of programming.

Building on this momentum, we are raising $25,000 as a part of The Next 25 Campaign, investing in the frameworks, interventions, and inventions that will shape the next 25 years.

Our Board has committed to a $10,000 match opportunity, where every tax-deductible gift made by you all will be matched by them dollar-for-dollar until December 31st. So far, we have reached $7,874 of our $25,000 goal!

Your gift to Eyebeam clears the path for artists building the plural futures we seek. Give today. Help us reach our goal by Dec 31, 2025! 🖇️Link in bio🖇️

𝐀 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝:

This fall, Eyebeam launched the 𝘚𝘱𝘦𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘯 𝘗𝘭𝘶𝘳𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘵𝘺 program series, inviting our alumni and emerging artists to explore how art and technology can help us navigate and transform the complex world we share. It’s the first step in what we’re calling 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘕𝘦𝘹𝘵 25, a commitment to building Eyebeam’s next quarter century as a home for justice-driven, artist-centered exploration. To keep this work going, we have set the goal of raising $25,000 by the end of the year.

𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐨𝐧 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚 𝐁𝐨𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲; every gift made between now and December 31 will be matched by the Board, dollar-for-dollar, up to $10,000. That means your support goes twice as far in fueling the next 25 years of artist-led experimentation.

Whether you give once or set up a monthly donation, every contribution helps sustain the ecosystem of boundary-defying artists and technologists who made Eyebeam into a center for artist-driven inquiry that is is known for today. Your support helps move through this pivotal period of organizational renewal and transformation, as we search for our next Executive Director and prepare to launch our residency open call in early 2026. We invite you to be part of what comes next, to help us sustain the artists and programs that will define the next 25 years.

For more than 25 years, Eyebeam has nurtured artists whose work probes us to question what is human about technology; to reclaim virtual space from surveillance capitalism; to directly or poetically consider political acts of refusal towards institutional power; and, now with the newly announced season of programming, Speculating on Plurality, we sent a signal to our community of practitioners who collectively take up questions we had:

Eyebeam Artist Alum Bahareh Khoshooee’s bio, :
Bahareh Khoshooee is a multidisciplinary artist, educator, feminist activist, and the co-founder of two collectives – , an international group of New Media artists, and █████, a network of feminist artists, activists, and technologists.

Born in Tehran, Iran, Khoshooee uses time-based strategies in presenting work that fuses 3D environments, video projection mapping, sculpture, performance, and sound. Her practice explores the complex dualities of technology: its oppressive role in surveilling, documenting, and criminalizing BIPOC bodies, and its radical potential for futurity and alternative solidarities. Her work unearths how technology mediates the intimate and collective experiences of grief, violence, and memory, reclaiming these spaces as arenas for liberation, and reimagined futures.
