Eyebeam Art + Technology Center (Eyebeam) is a not-for-profit art and technology center in New York City. The organization's stated purpose is to promote the creative use of new technologies by providing a collaborative environment for research and experimentation at the intersection of art, technology, and culture. Eyebeam was founded by John S. Johnson III with co-founders David S. Johnson and Roderic R. Richardson.
Originally conceived as a digital effects and coding atelier and center for youth education, Eyebeam has become a center for the research, development, and curation of new media works of art and open source technology. Eyebeam annually hosts 20 resident artists and research fellows, co-produces youth educational programs, and presents exhibitions, performances, symposia, workshops, hackathons and other events. Projects developed at Eyebeam have received awards and recognition including Webby Awards, Guggenheim Fellowships, and the Prix Ars Electronica.

Famous quotes containing the words art, technology and/or center:
“Art always opts for the individual, the concrete; art is not Platonic.”
—Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
“Primitive peoples tried to annul death by portraying the human body—we do it by finding substitutes for the human body. Technology instead of mysticism!”
—Max Frisch (1911–1991)
“Actually being married seemed so crowded with unspoken rules and odd secrets and unfathomable responsibilities that it had no more occurred to her to imagine being married herself than it had to imagine driving a motorcycle or having a job. She had, however, thought about being a bride, which had more to do with being the center of attention and looking inexplicably, temporarily beautiful than it did with sharing a double bed with someone with hairy legs and a drawer full of boxer shorts.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
