ART CULTURE & TECHNOLOGY (ACT) |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Art Culture & Technology (ACT) is a not for profit organization founded
in 1994. Its purpose is to utilize new technology to create public art, educational
programs, and installations. ACT provides the finest curatorial, production,
and technical assistance to artists and institutions here and abroad. In particular,
ACT serves those who are using technology to advance their program objectives.
ACT collaborates in all aspects including: assessment and site selection; identification
of financial support; curatorial assistance and production of artistic content;
and technical expertise including all manner of digital support.
ACT combines social entrepreneurship in funding strategies and technical assistance,
with its ability to assemble an exceptional network of talent and expertise
to assist both artist and institution. The consolidation of many aspects related
to new technologies in one organization allows smoother coordination and lower
expense for everyone involved. ACT is unique in its ability to provide comprehensive
service from design through implementation with an experienced world-class staff.
ACT already has a record of substantial achievement. ACT provided major art and technology programming for the CrossWaves (New Technology=New Performance) Festival at the Annenberg Center in Philadelphia. Special projects were undertaken with the Earth Pledge Foundation in collaboration with Robert Rauschenberg; technical support was provided to Laurie Anderson, Dana Atchley, the Gertrude Stein Repertory/World Stage, and others. At the Centennial Olympics in Atlanta, a 25-monitor outdoor display presented the work of leading animated artists, contemporary American composers, and winners of the Southern Arts Federation/NEA Fellowship Award.
Projects in 1997 and 1998 were conducted in Miami at the New World School of the Arts and ArtCenter South Florida; and in New York, with photoarts.com for the Downtown Arts Festival on the Hudson River/Chelsea waterfront. And partnered with I*EARN, the Snug Harbor Cultural Center's Newhouse Gallery, and the Alternative Museum to bring artist Jenny Marketou's interactive work TransLocal(Camp in My Tent) to a global audience of artists, educators, children and youth. ACT's advocacy efforts were directed at assisting PAX's campaign to end gun violence to expand the technical and production capability of its public media and special events campaign.
In 1999 and 2000 ACT collaborated on a variety of projects with the Storm King Music Festival (SKMF), the Art Shuttle and RARE Gallery in Downtown New York. As a co-producer of the SKMF in the Hudson Highlands, ACT has leveraged substantial equipment and technical support for this important new venue, enabling contemporary composers and audiences in the Lower and Mid-Hudson Valley to explore the relationship of classical music to new technology and cross-disciplinary performance. Also in 2000, ACT worked with BenefitEvents.com to produce a special on-line auction of works by Asian elephants in cooperation with leading artists Komar & Melamid, founders of the Asian Elephant Art and Conservation Project. In 2001, ACT consulted to the Bronx River Art Center (BRAC) in the commissioning, production, and installation of three cross-disciplinary works by contemporary composers and artists in residence at BRAC; one of these works was presented at Storm King 2001.
