Light Industry is a new venue for film and electronic art in Brooklyn, New York.

Peggy Ahwesh, Cory Arcangel, Daniel Barrow, Christina Battle, Michael Chaiken, Paul Chan, Leah Churner, Jacob Ciocci, Rebecca Cleman, Jem Cohen, Ben Coonley and Michael Smith, Lauren Cornell and Hanne Mugaas, Pedro Costa, Harry Dodge, Redmond Entwistle, Bradley Eros and Brian Frye, Mark Essen, Brel Froebe and Benjamin Schultz-Figueroa, Su Friedrich, eteam, David Gatten, Lia Gangitano, Sandra Gibson and Luis Recoder, Sabrina Gschwandtner, Nick Hallett, K8 Hardy, Ken Jacobs, Natalie Jeremijenko, G.B.

Joseph, Chris Kraus and Laura Parnes, Jeff Krulik, Andrew Lampert, Saul Levine and Rebecca Meyers, Dennis Lim, Loshadka, Abina Manning, Bruce McClure, Matt McCormick, Mark McElhatten, MTAA, Bob Nickas, Marisa Olson, Christiane Paul, Jake Perlin, Seth Price, Jennifer Reeves, Kelly Reichardt, Martha Rosler, Jeremy Rossen, P. Adams Sitney, Astria Suparak, Eddo Stern, Dan Streible, and Jim Trainor, among others.

Conceptually, Light Industry draws equal inspiration from the long history of alternative art spaces in New York as well its storied tradition of cinematheques and other intrepid film exhibitors. Through a regular program of screenings, performances, and lectures, its goal is to explore new models for the presentation of time-based media. Bringing together the worlds of contemporary art, experimental cinema, new media, documentary film, and the academy (to name only a few), Light Industry looks to foster an ongoing dialogue amongst a wide range of artists and audiences within the city.
