DESCRIPTION:George Fifield formed Boston Cyberarts in 1991 to demonstrate new symbioses: how our region’s exceptional arts, sciences and technology communities could collaborate to create leading technology-informed art. Every other spring, BCI presents the Boston Cyberarts Festival — the first (1999) and today the foremost festival of its kind in North America. Already it is the largest collaboration of arts institutions in New England and the pre-eminent festival of new media art in the United States, featuring: visual arts; music, dance and theatre; film and video; educational programs; lecture/demonstrations, and symposia. It involves technologies and artists from 60 institutions, and garners more than 20,000 attendees. BCI also maintains an online gallery of computer art, an artists-in-residence program at Massachusetts technology companies, and a database of new media artists and projects. BCI’s work has been good for everyone — for art, for business and for philanthropy. Here is a rare opportunity to become a patron, not just of new art and of technology, but of them both, together.
