Chelsea art-scene Thursdays are usually pretty posh and snooze-inducing, but this particular one marks alterna-gallery Eyebeam’s first decade in New York. Eyebeam has been innovating the use of space, curation, and promotion to big-up nouveau methods of creation such as bio-art, Internet art, and other stuff geeks get hot on - like making an automatic spam shredder. Remember LED throwies? Probably the hottest thing since paint markers, they were developed here, too. Join Ariana Huffington and Lawrence Lessig for talks, hopefully free booze, and some seriously mind-bending uses of obsolete and cutting-edge technology. Oh yeah, and your man Lip will be there dolo-ing out because everyone else on this blog thinks art is gay. I WENT THERE.
