Our mission is to apply art and technology to create positive social impact through education, civic engagement, and public programs.

We use digital tools to create art and design projects that benefit society. We test and scale projects with high impact potential, teach digital tools to support artists and technologists, and inspire our community by promoting meaningful new work.

We apply the promise and inspiration of digital art to a broader social context. Our programs are transforming cities into creative outlets, applying technology to solve problems, and shaping how art is created and consumed in the digital era.

The San Francisco Electronic Music Festival begins on Friday, November 7, with Leyya Mona Tawil (also known as Lime Rickey International), who brings her embodied, interdisciplinary approach, creating a musical performance that incorporates sound objects, physical effects, and disappearing words. The artist DULL follows, combining instrumental mastery with live electronics, while balancing lab-coat meticulousness with a punk attitude. Friday night concludes with Angélica Negrón performing live electronics, incorporating her love of drag, comedy, and the natural world into her set.

On Saturday, November 8, the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival presents Celia Hollander, who combines acoustic and digital elements to explore music as a natural phenomenon of dynamic systems. "Audiovisual sorceress," Freida Abtan follows, weaving together acousmatic composition with more industrial and pop-influenced experimental anthems. Saturday’s lineup closes with Julien Bayle performing super.system, a live performance uniting sound and image through real-time generative composition that is a living, mutable work where intention meets entropy.

On Sunday, Nov. 9th, the San Francisco Electronic Music Festival presents S’hells Gate, a three-piece outfit comprising members Jonathan Carr, Matt Brownell, and Cat Lauigan, who fuse elements of arpeggiated electronics, experimental poetry / processed trance vocals, oscillating hypnotic drones, and industrial dub rhythms. Lauren Sarah Hayes follows, exploring instability, vulnerability, and unpredictability through improvisation with her hybrid analogue-digital live electronics performance system, a form of embodied machine intelligence. With punk/metal roots, DADABOTS close the festival using machine-learning as an extreme way to make sound and eliminate humans from music.

Come together to explore the relationship between the human sensorium and the intersection of art and technology. This year’s theme centers on the bidirectional flow of information between our bodies and the environment. What are those streams of exchange? No other than biofeedback and cyborg art! Or bio-information going outside compared to inside our bodies.

Our first meeting will be on November 23rd, from 12:00 to 2:00 PM at Gray Area (in person only)
