Center for Concrete and Abstract Machines

CCAM is an artist-run platform programming, performing, and producing at the nexus of art, technology, and contemporary thought. 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.
