The Rail Trail Temporary Tech Public Art project is a new artist opportunity offered under the City’s In-Sight Temporary Public Art program in collaboration with other city, community and educational partners, that aims to engage local artists with innovative technology training opportunities to collectively explore themes and ideas for future artistic enhancements and public art for the proposed Rail Trail along the rail road tracks and First Street in downtown Albuquerque.
Four artists will be selected to participate in a special artist focused technology course offered through the CNM Ingenuity’s Internet of Things and Rapid Prototyping Bootcamp. The Bootcamp will provide education and training to build devices and experiences with smart connect computing suitable for temporary public art applications. The goal is to train four artists who seek to include a digital/technology component to their traditional public art practice and commission four experimental, temporary works of art that will be examples of how technology and art can be combined along the Rail Trail.
