Geraldine Juarez

Forays was a collaboration between Adam Bobbette and Juárez who met as residents in Eyebeam in 2006. With her work with Forays, Juárez started sourcing her materials for free.In their work they will get resources through dumpster diving or through the website freecycle. Freecycle is a website where people post household items or clothes they no longer want or need for free. In their manifesto they stated "a foray must be compelled by the ethics of copyleft, hacking, alternative forms of exchange, and released within the public domain." Most of their works included manuals for create infrastructures describes as open source architecture. Open source architecture is essentially artists sharing build plans for various models through media sources. The technique of how a structure was built is the takeaway from the movement among newer media artists.

She was fellow of Eyebeam's AIR studio from 2002 to 2003 and Senior Fellow at the Production Studio from 2006 to 2008.
