[ ESC ] ELECTRONIC SOCIAL CLUB

Thanks for making [ ESC ] a success!

Thanks to everyone who made [ ESC ] a success! Thanks especially to our artists, who contributed 16 projects from 6 different MFA programs around New York City. We estimated nearly 200 people came to meet, mingle and see the work of emerging artists from the media arts community.

Some more thanks: this show would not have been possible without the support of the Hunter College Integrated Media Arts MFA program, its student organization EYEspeak, and–most importantly–Peter Jackson, the Film & Media Dept’s Digital Media Production Coordinator and our beloved tech guru!

Check out some photos of the event here.

Thanks again for a great show,

Your [ ESC ] organizers (Sarah Nelson Wright, Laura Chipley, Francisca Caporali, Ariana Souzis, Suyin Looui and Pilar Ortiz)

[ ESC ] will be streamed live!
