Pop-Up Party under the Highline
Digital Day Camp at Eyebeam, New York 2009
The summer student program focused on creative activism in an urban environment. Students worked with urban planners, software designers, activists, artists, and even a couple of activist gardeners to dig a little deeper into the fabric of our city, to learn more about how we can creatively activate it, and how we can use art and technology to change it for the better.

Building on a Pop Up Party System
Preparing PUP T-Shirts on the lemonade cart
The PUP bridged the “high line” and “low line,” cross-pollinating long-term residents and tourists through temporary installations, games and performances.
During our workshop we developed a Pop Up Party that popped up under the High Line
Up on The High Line: Sharing Lemonades for secrets. The secrets were collected above and the lemonades were pulled up from the bottom. Literally connecting the High and the Low Line ︎

On Digital Day Camp
During Eyebeam’s DIGITAL DAY CAMP (DDC) summer program New York City students engage in lectures and hands-on workshops focusing on art and technology tools, careers in the field, and relevant social and artistic topics. Through their investigations, students have the opportunity to research current themes in art and technology, and develop projects in response to what they discover.
DDC activities are led by invited technology professionals, contemporary artists, and Eyebeam’s current residents and fellows. Participants in past programs have engaged in project-based learning around themes of bio-tech, urban intervention, gaming, and wearable technology.
