Seven on Seven https://video-new.rhizome.org/c/7x7/videos Founded in 2010, Seven on Seven (7x7) pairs artists with tech luminaries for deep conversation and day-long collaboration. Each pair is given a simple assignment: make something new. The results–which may be an app, a prototype, a performance, an artwork–are unveiled for the first time at a public event. Many of the projects go on to further development and exhibition. Over the years, 7x7 has given rise to notable projects and conversations: In 2014, artist Kevin McCoy minted “the first NFT” as part of his collaboration with technologist Anil Dash. An artwork presented by artist Taryn Simon and programmer/activist Aaron Swartz at 7x7 2012 has gone on to be exhibited around the world, and covered in publications such as the New York Times. And on the lighter side, artist Jayson Musson and Jonah Peretti presented a satirical demo for a new social network called Blockedt! at 7x7 2017.

Matthew Ritchieʼs installations integrating painting, wall drawings, light boxes, performance, sculpture, and moving image are investigations into the complex and transient nature of information. His works describe generations of systems, ideas, and their subsequent interpretations in a kind of cerebral web, concretizing ephemeral and intangible theories of information and time.

Billy Chasen co-founded betaworks in 2007. At betaworks, Billy built several product prototypes, including Chartbeat, a real-time web analytics service that is today used by over 80% of US publishers. After betaworks, Billy co-founded stickybits, a way to attach digital information to physical objects and turntable.fm, a social music service where people could play music with each other online.

He is a founder of Makerbot, a company that produces robots that make things, a founder of Thingiverse which is a universe of downloadable designs, and a founder of NYCResistor, a hacker collective in Brooklyn.
