We're having a tech-themed day- what with the new iPhone software launching and all (um....we are finally showing our true nerd qualities, huh?)

Regardless if you are tech-savvy or not, the cool peeps of the Eyebeam Art + Technology Center hosted a slick event that appealed to techies, artists, and party-animals alike last night. Featuring twelve cutting edge contemporary artist exhibits, it gave a glimpse at how music and art is evolving with new technology - while pumping out music and tons of visual eye candy.

So what's the future look like?

Highlights included The World Series of Tubing, a YouTube card game remixing played in front of a live audience, created by Aaron Meyers & Jeff Crouse. Think you got your poker face right?

ReWare created a rock stage with a cracked iPod lead guitar, iPod bass, iPod turn tables, & iPod drums. (Yeah, just imagine NIN touring with a bad-boy i-pod bass....)

In a performance called Five, multi-disciplinary artist Rashaad Newsome captured the fluid motion of urban dancers performing using real time video processing software.
