MVR 1 is the first in a series of events that will link together a network of alternative technology spaces within New York City, prominently including Eyebeam and PioneerWorks, and has been developed by Eyebeam Research Resident Nancy Nowacek together with Co-Director of Education at PioneerWorks David Sheinkopf. Following events will take place in other members of this informal network.

Eyebeam is a Brooklyn-based non-profit studio for research, production, education, and inspiration, rooted in our Residency program. Eyebeam gives people material support (financial, space and tools) and a community (alums and the public) free from external pressures at a pivotal moment in their practice. Their visionary projects result in new engagements and toolkits, which through sharing, building, and educating with the public can cascade into exponential effects within our communities.
