The tracx Gallery Space, which opened January 2013, is a venture by the NYC-based technology start up to support local artists while inspiring employees with new mixed media art installations. This new space showcases a wide range of pieces -- all created by local artists -- that provide thought and conversation provoking inspiration for the company's employees, clients and office visitors.
Founded in 2008 by a group of social graph engineers & scientists, tracx founders are also amateur photographers and cinematographers who have a great appreciation of art. The tracx Gallery Space was founded with the belief that the partnership between the artist and the scientist is essential for innovation. The gallery is designed as a place for today's emerging artists to critique today's emerging technology.
show: May-August 2013 "Influencers"
Inspired by a widely debated term, Influencers seeks to examine the ubiquitous, sometimes subversive forces that influence our behavior and define who we are. The concept of influence is also an important topic when it comes to social media, where a deeper understanding of social spheres of influence can give brands a business advantage.
official show opening: Wednesday, June 26, 2013, 5-7pm.
number of shows per year: 3
duration of shows: 4 months
A list of all of the art pieces, artists and their contact information, will be kept with the office manager, and in the lobby area, should anyone inquire about the work.
