Assignment #2: Research a gallery/museum that focuses on new media and describe their program, the types of media that they employ, and some of their artists.
Kickstarter Projects
Kickstarter is a crowdfunding website for projects representing a myriad of endeavors, such as films, comics, technology, games, etc. Though Kickstarter is not technically a physical gallery/museum, it certain archives and presents new media projects, which brings me to ask the question whether or not new-media-art-focused museums even need to be physically located.

For one such project, named "
Written Images," a generative art book was created and funded. The generative art book featured prints that would be calculated individually, making every single book and print unique. This project collected submissions of from over 70 new media artists that a jury then singled out to 42. These 42 artists submitted image generating software programs that were then used to produce the books and prints.

Another project, "
Pixel Portrait Poster Project," an artist named Drew Wise uses pixels as his medium. The project was to create up to 800 8-bit pixel portraits, eventually combining them into an art print. Using user-submitted photographs, the artist uses 8-bit pixels to digitally create a portrait.
While there are many different kinds of new media artists mixed among the other creative projects, such as photographers that use modern digital photography equipment and software, and digital artists that use printing techniques and design software to produce various graphics and prints, there are also many unique new media projects showing up every week, making Kickstarter a host of contemporary projects, in all stages of progress.
Kickstarter also features curated pages from leading creative communities and organizations such as RISD (Rhode Island School of Design), TED (Technology, Entertainment and Design Conferences), Sundance Film Festival, CalArts, and Etsy.
