“Art/Tech/Food: Cultural Collaboration”
Art/Tech/Food, is Amanda McDonald Crowley’s curatorial research strategy bringing biologists, environmentalists, food activists, and molecular gastronomists, together with artists to deliver urban agricultural strategies, bio-generative art, and open source software and hardware. McDonald Crowley’s intention is to deliver new research with the goal of curating an interdisciplinary program that might include exhibitions, symposia, and associated publication(s).
McDonald Crowley is interested in developing a programming series that undertakes a critique of the commercialization of food production, focusing on discussions of food policy, food justice, and broader cultural contexts of food production. She is collating research resources on Scoop.it/ArtTechFood.
A native of Australia now based in New York, Amanda McDonald Crowley is a cultural worker, curator, and facilitator who specializes in creating new media and contemporary art events and programs that encourage cross-disciplinary practice, collaboration and exchange. She was the Executive Director of Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in New York City from 2005 to 2011. Eyebeam is recognized internationally as a model for collaboration and innovation in art + technology. Her contributions to the field of electronic art also include her work as executive producer for ISEA2004 (the International Symposium for Electronic Arts 2004).
