Hosted by Rhizome 2009-2013, this map identifies organizations, networks, and related links throughout NYS and beyond, that offer a variety of media arts services and information. Coming soon, in 2014, Wave Farm will manage a significant overhaul of The NYS Media Arts Map. A vital connecting point for cultural organizations and the general public interested in electronic art, media, and film statewide, the new Map will dynamically profile organizations and their public programs. Online discussion and networking opportunities will facilitate communication and collaboration, while virtual tours will provide the general public with new information and access.
To ensure your organization will be included in the new Map, please contact:

Thalamus Lab & Harvestworks invite you to participate in the Experimental Sound Lab and collaborate with other artists to create a free experimental sound library.
[You can still sign up - we usually keep registration open for a few days, because at the beginning you'll download & watch videos] This intensive 3+ week ONLINE course is an introduction to the use of computer vision for creating interactive art and installation with Processing. We will learn how to make custom software which tracks people, faces, moving bodies, colors, and objects, and use that data to control interactive content.
Harvestworks in partnership with The Industrial and Technology Assistance Corporation (ITAC) provides an opportunity for artists to create new works of art, further develop their creative tool set, and benefit from the advisory and professional services of ITAC to reach a marketplace looking for innovative approaches to new technology. Fifteen New York State artist/technician teams will be awarded up to $5000 (dependent upon funding) to produce, document, and present a new artwork. Women and minority teams are encouraged to apply.
