Long live freedom and creativity!We'd like to extend a great big thank you to all who came out to Eyebeam's benefit honoring Craig Newmark last week!

This will be Dr. Kurtz's first public appearance since the US government's controversial case against him was dropped on April 21, 2008. For more on the case, see: http://www.caedefensefund.org/ In the meantime, May 22 we present an evening on wearable technologies, on the occasion of Sabine Seymour's recent book: Fashionable Technology: The Intersection of Design, Fashion, Science, and Technology and the culmination of the Spring 2008 Girls Eye View Project Walkway program.

Each workshop participant will be invited to bring at least three clips to add to a pool of source material. We will consider site-specific “give and take”, and aim to develop “fair-use” guidelines for fellow participants and laymen. VJ-ing, event-design and space-modification workshops will mix and remix the resources, talents, perspectives of all present, to create a performative party with live audio-visual manipulation, a juice-bar and dancing. As a public party for the Seeders 'N' Leechers 'R' Us outgoing process, endeavors to seed the imagination of possible futures. Co-related workshops by: Coordinated by Liz Slagus, Eyebeam resident Andrew Paterson and Not An Alternative. For more information, or to take part in workshop contact: agryfp AT gmail DOT com. May 19: Interactivos? Call for CollaboratorsWe're pleased to announce that we (Eyebeam fellows, residents and staff) have selected ten projects—form 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, and 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 (word documents or pdfs only please, no image attachments) to interactivosinfo AT eyebeam DOT org by May 26. Selected collaborators will be notified May 29. 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, and further detail on the kind of collaborative help we are looking for, will be announced next week.

Partners with the 2008 World Science FestivalDate: May 29, 7PM Join Dr. Steven Kurtz, the artist accused by the US Department of Justice of “bioterrorism” stemming from his use of scientific materials in his award-winning art practice, and science writer Carl Zimmer for a panel discussion on the ethics of scientific and creative research and freedom of speech. Kurtz, a University at Buffalo professor and founding member of the Critical Art Ensemble, uses biological materials in educational exhibits and performances designed to inspire debate about political and social issues, including those surrounding new biotechnologies. In May of 2004, he was detained on suspicion of "bioterrorism" for his possession of a small laboratory and petri dishes containing bacteria cultures used in several of Critical Art Ensemble's projects. When these accusations proved groundless, he was then charged with mail and wire fraud—charges which carried a possible sentence of 20 years in jail under the USA PATRIOT Act. Earlier this month, a federal judge dismissed those charges; however, the US Department of Justice may still appeal the dismissal. This month's Upgrade! New York is a collaboration between Eyebeam and the World Science Festival, with additional support from the Berkeley Center for New Media.

Open Source CUBIT ToolkitThe media's abuzz about Nor_/D's (Stefan Hechenberger and Eyebeam Production Lab fellow Addie Wagenknecht) CUBIT multitouch toolkit, and organizations, scientists, hobbyists and corporations are getting busy building their own interactive touch surface gadgets. Read some of the coverage at : Economist, MIT Technology Review, Deutsche Netzwelt, and Engadget China. Designed with OpenFrameworks and produced with the support of Eyebeam, CUBIT is an interactive surface for multitouch interactions. It was designed with the intention of redefining visual computing and departing from the mouse-pointer paradigm. On CUBIT, fingers are seen as points of location, areas of contact, and vectors. Based on these sensory inputs the interface generates graphical widgets that behave along preconceived notions of physical objects. More information on the kit can be found at http://www.nortd.com/touchkit and http://www.nortd.com/cubit.
