The fifth event in the popular Collision Series, COLLISIONfive is part of the 2003 Boston Cyberarts (www.bostoncyberarts.org) Festival and showcases art from MIT students and local artists who use new technologies in their work. Light sculptures, autonomous robots, soundscapes, interactive pieces, video installations, and more will be on display over the weekend, with special live performances at the opening on Sunday. Artists include JackBackRack, Jessica Banks, Eric Bordeux, Nell Breyer, Aaron Edsinger, Simon Greenwold, Eric Gunther, Saoirse Higgins, Henry Kaufman, Brian Knep, Mat Laibowitz, Kevin McCormick, David Merrill, Dan Paluska, Amanda Parkes, Hayes Raffle, Ben Recht, Simon Schiessl, Lily Shirvanee, John Stedl, Fran Trainor, Brian Whitman and Noah Vawter.

The MIT student art group ATat, Arts and Technology at tech, was founded in 2001 to host events showcasing art that incorporates technology. Its first four events have shown the art and performance of over forty MIT and Boston-area artists. These events have seen people of all ages engaged in interactive robotic art, exploring laser lighted spaces, shaking their heads at LED sculptures, listening and dancing to live electronic music and generally having fun while being introduced to the future of art.
