The other reasons F.A.T. Lab died.

It’s an interesting read, even if you’re not familiar with the digital art collective(?) F.A.T. Lab. 

When you're excited and hopeful about what you're making with friends, it's hard to deal with it ultimately effecting zero change outside your circle.

My photos from F.A.T. Lab's FAT GOLD: Five Years of Free Art & Technology opening at Eyebeam Art + Technology, 4/1/13.

"Release early, often and with rap music. This is Notorious R&D." —F.A.T. Lab

Celebrating more than five years of thug life, pop culture, and R&D, the renegade art organization known as the Free Art & Technology Lab, or F.A.T. Lab, is going GOLD. F.A.T. GOLD, that is. From April 1–20 Eyebeam Art & Technology Center will present the acclaimed work of F.A.T. Lab. Organized by Lindsay Howard, Eyebeam Curatorial Fellow, the exhibition invites the public to experience and engage with the collective’s groundbreaking projects.

F.A.T. GOLD brings together an international group of twenty-five collaborators comprised of artists, hackers, engineers, musicians, and graffiti writers, many of whom have been involved with the organization as residents, fellows, or collaborators, for a week-long residency at Eyebeam. The influential group—who’ve collectively and independently received prestigious honors such as the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt National Design Award, Japan Media Arts Award, Transmediale Award, Prix Ars Electronica, Emmy Award, and TIME Magazine’s “World’s Most Influential Person”—will be onsite daily during the week of April 1, participating in panels, hackathons, and collaborative pieces.

So basically this show is everything I love, all in one gallery space. Couldn't be happier.
