CYCLEX

CycleX farmland has been a gathering node for farmers and artists since 1997.

In 2020, we initiated the FARM for the FUTURE (F3) program. Based on the concept of “allotment” which designated a plot of land for cultivation, CycleX invited residents who pursue innovative hybrid, ,regenerative, organic, small-scale farming.
Current F3 residents:
[CycleX Living Village - Mamoun Friedrich-Grosvenor]
[Vertical Garden - Andrew Inniss and Emily Nadeau]
[MYC.NYC - Craig M.Trester]

From year 2010 to 2014, we solicited season-based residency projects based on the theme, "FUTURE SEEDS". The initiative derived from our farming exchange and research in bio-electronic media art, further connecting code and data processing with algorithms of seeding and growth. Through sensing, cultivating and communicating with soil, fields, seeds, plants, and animals via electronic means and devices, FUTURE SEEDS sought systematic investigation into current bio-media work. The residency promoted sustainable living/working environment for artists who engaged in farming activities along with their media projects. Collaboration was made with medialab EYEBEAM in New York City in 2010.

Selected residency projects:
2010 - Hernani Dias [refarm the city]
2010 - Stefani Bardin [The Pharmacology of Taste]
2012 - muthi reed & family [whylin wildin] (update from cycle crop rotation)
