Center for Concrete and Abstract Machines

CCAM’s primary goal is building an accessible community for the development and sharing of abstract ideas and forms of technical know-how, know-when, and know-why historically siloed in academia. Reciprocally, CCAM aims to hybridize the art, technology, and research cultures it borrows from the academy by drawing on and inviting in queer, anti-racist, and decolonial perspectives. By intentionally developing this community outside of the academy, CCAM seeks to break down barriers to access for engaging in art, technology, and surrounding critical theory.
