A Collaborative Exploration of Sound, Space, and Memory

Presented by MassArt’s Dynamic Media Institute (DMI) and Berklee College of Music at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery

Echoes of Green Street merges sound, space, and interaction through a collaboration between MassArt’s Dynamic Media Institute and Berklee’s Interdisciplinary Arts Institute, College of Music. This exhibition features immersive installations and live performances, where design and music blend to create a dynamic, sensory experience.

Explore how technology and storytelling intersect with sound to shape environments that evoke memories, emotions, and ideas. Each piece invites visitors to engage with the space, listen, and respond, highlighting the transformative power of interdisciplinary collaboration.

Art and music have always existed in conversation, shaping the way we experience the world. Echoes of Green Street is a testament to this dialogue—a collaboration between MassArt’s Dynamic Media Institute (DMI) and Berklee’s Interdisciplinary Arts Institute (BIAI) that merges interactive media, sound, and immersive storytelling.

This exhibition was born from a casual, yet inspiring exchange between artists at a gallery show, where the idea of pairing visual designers and musicians felt both necessary and inevitable. What emerged is a showcase of deeply interactive, sensory-driven installations that invite audiences to step inside, listen, and respond to environments that blend the natural, urban, and imagined.

At its core, this show reflects the power of interdisciplinary exchange. DMI students approach design as a fluid medium, where technology, storytelling, and interaction redefine artistic expression. Berklee’s musicians and composers bring new dimensions to this process, expanding how sound can shape and be shaped by space.

As Neil Leonard, Director of BIAI, expressed, collaborations like this are transformative. For both institutions, this partnership has been an opportunity to expand creative practices, challenge artistic boundaries, and build bridges between disciplines, cultures, and ideas.

Through the works in Echoes of Green Street, we invite you to move, listen, and engage—because art, like sound, is never static. It exists in motion, waiting to be felt, interpreted, and echoed forward.

One night April 3, 2025

As we dig through the tangled wires of our lives in the modern era, we have found ourselves increasingly connected to technology. Tools like the computer have progressed so deeply that we begin to see ourselves within their complexity; we have become nearly one with our mutual dependence. The evolution of artificial intelligence has also posed a massive ethical dilemma about the role of technology in human lives. But could things have gone any differently? Imagine we go back to a time before smartphones and high-speed internet. Where would we be today? Can we re:boot, or are we forced to carry the mistakes of the past with the consequences of the present?

Spark* invites artists to explore the intersections of retro technology and modern life in imagining the ideal update for the future of humanity. Our exhibition, re:boot, looks to bring artists into the minds of computers through the minds of themselves. Through the bright flashing error messages and black and white static screens, we are transported to a past, but what past?

In re:boot, Spark* is asking artists to immerse themselves in the digital world in ways they didn’t think were possible. By hitting the refresh button and watching the walls around you dissipate, Spark* wants you to look beyond the screen and into the reflection. The world of re:boot looks to set artists on a journey of reexamining the buzzing blocks in our pockets and the invisible world wide web above our heads to begin to question the interplay that the digital world has on our real world.

DATA FLUENCIES: Rivulets

April 18 – June 15, 2025 (Opening reception April 18)

Gallery hours Fridays, 4pm–9pm; Saturdays and Sundays, 12pm–6pm

Featuring artists Lai Yi Ohlsen, Lani Asunción, Jazsalyn, Kristoffer Ørum, Caroline Sinders, and Roopa Vasudevan, alongside work from the Data Fluencies Theatre Project (Emerson College, Boston) and DATA/FFECT (York University, Toronto).

The first of three thematically-connected shows on view across North America in mid-2025, this exhibition investigates art's potential for reimagining our often narrow understandings of data and machine learning. Using the rivulet (a small, localized stream that flows into larger systems) as a conceptual starting point, the projects in this show work together to explore the ways that adjusting or reconfiguring our individual experiences of data-driven and machine learning systems might lead to broader systemic change. Through critique and subversion of existing technological systems, along with reflection on their prevalence in our lives, the works seen here offer ways to reimagine the data that surrounds us, and to ask what might be possible instead.

Data Fluencies: Rivulets features the work of six contemporary artists, alongside experimental research supported by the Mellon Foundation-funded Data Fluencies Project (based out of the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University). The exhibition aims to provide open public engagement with the research outputs emerging from the larger project and place them next to cutting-edge and critical work of artists examining the same themes and ideas. Together, the artists and researchers featured here offer us ways to (re)consider our relationships with the data that drives our everyday lives—and perhaps find new routes to agency once we are able to do so.

The Data Fluencies exhibitions are generously supported by the Mellon Foundation and the Digital Democracies Institute at Simon Fraser University (Vancouver). Organized by Roopa Vasudevan, a co-PI on the Data Fluencies Project. Visual identity by PROPS SUPPLY.
