Johnson before moving to an iconic warehouse on West 21st street, Eyebeam was conceived as the very first critical space of its kind, for thinking creatively about how technology was transforming the world. As Chelsea changed, Eyebeam returned to Brooklyn and settled into a former industrial complex overlooking Sunset Park.

In those two decades, Eyebeam has made a habit of breaking new ground.Projects we have unleashed through our studio: - Online "sharing" protocol and foundation of the social web, ReBlog - "Edit-a-thon", focused on contemporary art in Wikipedia - Digital education summer camp, Digital Day Camp - Public demo of a 3D printer, the Makerbot - C-based creative coding platform, OpenFrameworks - Comprehensive rap lyrics database, for the Rap Research Lab - Arabic programming language that was also an art project, قلب - Program in Computational Fashion, and many other firsts.
