Found­ed as a not-for-prof­it orga­ni­za­tion by artists in 1977, Har­vest­works’ mis­sion is to sup­port the cre­ation and pre­sen­ta­tion of art works achieved through the use of new and evolv­ing tech­nolo­gies. We cre­ate an envi­ron­ment where artists can make work inspired and achieved by elec­tron­ic media; pro­vide a pub­lic con­text for the appre­ci­a­tion of new art; and bring togeth­er inno­v­a­tive prac­ti­tion­ers from all branch­es of the arts col­lab­o­rat­ing in the use of elec­tron­ic media. We assist with com­mis­sions and res­i­den­cies, pro­duc­tion ser­vices, edu­ca­tion and infor­ma­tion pro­grams, and the pre­sen­ta­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion of their work. 

The Art and Tech­nol­o­gy Pro­gram on Gov­er­nors Island is cen­tered on art works cre­at­ed at the inter­sec­tion of art and tech­nol­o­gy. It includes artists open stu­dios, exhi­bi­tions of dig­i­tal media art, pub­lic work­shops and per­for­mances in our edu­ca­tion­al research facil­i­ty in Nolan Park. Our goal is to pro­vide exhi­bi­tion oppor­tu­ni­ties to elec­tron­ic media artists and also to edu­cate the pub­lic about how artists use new and emerg­ing tech­nol­o­gy for artis­tic expression. 

This year’s pro­gram, The Work­ings of Media [Art and Artists], is a series of pre­sen­ta­tions, work­shops, open stu­dios and exhi­bi­tions to under­stand social and cul­tur­al changes reflect­ed through the lens of art and artists. Cura­tor and direc­tor Car­ol Parkin­son has select­ed these artists because of their use of the new media tech­nol­o­gy includ­ing sound, smell and aug­ment­ed real­i­ties. The Art and Tech­nol­o­gy pro­gram is a com­po­nent of our Cre­ative Res­i­den­cy and Spon­sored Projects pro­grams and seeks to cre­ate a respon­sive pub­lic con­text for the appre­ci­a­tion of new work and to advance the art’s com­mu­ni­ty and the the public’s appre­ci­a­tion of the use of tech­nol­o­gy in art.
