“She was clearly at a pivot point,” Roderick Schrock, Eyebeam’s executive director, recalled.

Studios, workshops, tools and specialized equipment; a staff to provide skilled assistance; sometimes three square meals and housekeeping: this form of arts funding has been a breeding ground for prominent artists, including the monologuist Spalding Gray at the McDowell in New Hampshire; the composer Lea Bertucci at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Nebraska; and the artists Rashaad Newsome at Eyebeam in Brooklyn, and Danai Anesiadou at Fogo Island Arts off Canada’s eastern coast.

This work was supported with a grant from the Eyebeam Center for the Future of Journalism.

His endeavor is being funded by the Brooklyn-based art and technology center, Eyebeam through its new initiative, Rapid Response for a Better Digital Future, which supports 30 artists incubating creative solutions to a world torn asunder by digital surveillance, racial violence and a pandemic.
