The IMC Lab + Gallery is a technology research lab and multimedia art gallery with a focus on creative software tools and interactive art forms. Our mission is to support artists and programmers by featuring their work in gallery exhibitions, funding technology research, providing collaborative studio facilities, and finding commercial applications for creative technologies.

CO-CREATE is IMC's artist in residency program that pairs artists with technologists. The program offers artists/designers and software developers/engineers the opportunity to collaborate and leverage each other’s skills in order to realize new works and explore new possibilities. The ideal applicant will propose a unique project in the form of a media involved installation, a new media artwork, software development or a commercial app. Residencies run for 6 months.

For the course of the 6-month residency, the IMC Lab + Gallery provides residents with a 24hr access studio space in Flatiron, Manhattan and access to the lab's resources, including computers, display systems, projectors and sound equipment to explore the physical realization of a collaborative project. The residency will culminate in an open studio/works-in-progress event and the possibility of a solo or group exhibition at the IMC Lab + Gallery showcasing the outcome of the 6 month collaborative residency.

By partnering artists with technologists, the IMC Lab + Gallery endeavors to facilitate the realization of creative projects that require a multitude of different skill sets. Three artists and/or technologists are selected on the basis of artistic and practical merit while curating complementary skill sets for a collaborative studio environment. Our goal is to promote the research and development of innovative technologies with applications in both fine art and commercial realms, with a particular interest in where the two intersect.

Co-Create artists are considered for future opportunities in group expositions and commercial collaborations with IMC Lab + Gallery and Studio IMC.
