The Collaborative Art + Technology Situation (CATS+) is a residency and community program at The Museum of Human Achievement that encourages thoughtful, critical, creative engagement with technology. The CATS+ Residency Program groups cohorts of artists and tech wizards to learn together, make new projects, and share their process. We host collaborations, artist-led workshops, hangouts, public showcases, and a wiki to remove the mystery from tech and make magic together.
CATS+ creates access for underrepresented artists and under-resourced community members to critically incorporate technology and digital media into their practices through one-on-one mentorship, tool access, skill-building workshops, and community. It offers technologists the opportunity to share knowledge and explore artistic, cultural frameworks. CATS offers a bridge between technology and the arts in Austin.

Peanut
Education, Exhibition, Professional Development, Touring
Jan 2020
“Peanut” is a mobile platform to use practices of DIY community-building to create space shaped to serve the needs of hyperlocal communities. To create this space, a 90s city bus, “Peanut,” has been retrofitted to become an accessible and approachable hub for transportation between communities as well as a physical space to support conversations, gatherings and performances taking place directly within the neighborhoods Peanut seeks to serve. Because DIY platforms are built upon grassroots relationship-building, community outreach is as integral to our process as the performance itself. Peanut is an artist and community-driven collaboration that places arts and community in direct contact in order to celebrate the voices of under-resourced communities.
