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.

William Basinski with Kelly Moran

On April 30, William Basinski brings his signature approach to experimental music to Gray Area. A classically trained composer who has worked in experimental media for over 30 years, from New York City to California, Basinski uses obsolete technology and analog tape loops to shape haunting, slow-moving soundscapes that linger on memory, impermanence, and the passage of time.

Kelly Moran is a New York-based composer and pianist who has spent her career excavating the sonic possibilities of the piano. In the past decade, Moran has released numerous acclaimed albums that have challenged the piano’s traditional, classically-imposed school of thought with a more contemporary approach. Her unique strand of experimental piano compositions, which conjure hypnotizing textures and dramatic compositional arcs, have been included on year-end lists across classical, avant-garde, and metal genres.

Errorgrid Presents: DATA/LOSS

A curated dark electronica showcase exploring the erosion of data and the loss of form.

The second installment of the DATA/LOSS showcase series brings Portland and Bay Area artists together for a night filled with curated raw audiovisual oblations. Set as an immersive, seated experience, we invite you on a journey of erosion that moves from dark industrial textures toward total decomposition of signal. At the heart of the event lies the study and observation of impermanence of form, of stability as a popular illusion, and the impact of quantization of reality. The visual aspect of the showcase is presented by Arson Rivvers. Phase 1: HEMADAXIS (Katabatik) Phase 2: MALARKI (Errorgrid) Phase 3: FALLING SOCIETIES (Errorgrid) Phase 4: ERIC SCHLAPPI Phase 5: THOABATH
