Public Art, beyond murals and monuments, can create memorable sculptures, installations,

interventions, and ephemeral encounters in public space that invite audience engagement and

respond to a site’s history and community. But have you ever seen public art and asked

yourself: How was it made? Who did this? Why here? Public Processes sheds light on those

questions, highlighting the technology, ingenuity, and deep collaboration that happens

behind-the-scenes of public art production.

This exhibition, presented in partnership between Boston Public Art Triennial and Boston

Cyberarts, shares the story of the conceptualization and fabrication behind six local artist-driven

public art projects from recent years. Featured projects have been created for Lot Lab, an

initiative transforming an underutilized outdoor lot into a vibrant experimentation zone for art and

community, and by artists from the Public Art Accelerator, an annual incubator where local

creatives receive skills-training, mentorship, and grant funding to bring public art to one of

Boston's neighborhoods. Cyberarts’s own history of public art projects, such as Art on the

Marquee and innovative Augmented Reality experiences, is also uplifted in this collaborative

exhibition.

Public Processes was inspired by Boston Cyberarts’s mission to foster, develop, and present a

wide spectrum of media arts, together with the Triennial’s mission to open minds, conversations,

and spaces through public art, resulting in a more equitable and vibrant Boston. In addition to

amplifying and educating around methods of public art production, Public Processes celebrates

the local expertise that places Boston at the forefront of both artistic and technological

innovation.
