Agnes Chavez is an interdisciplinary new media artist and educator. Her work integrates art, science and technology as tools to inspire artistic, scientific and humanistic literacy and to raise awareness to humanitarian and ecological issues. She explores data visualization, light, sound and space to create immersive and educational installations that seek balance between mind and matter, science and art, nature and technology. She is the founder of STEMarts Lab, which designs and delivers sci-art installations and STEAM programming for schools, art/science organizations and festivals. STEMarts Lab produces the STEMarts Curriculum Tool, an online platform that complements art and science festivals with STEAM teacher resources built around the work of curated artists. She has developed STEAM programs for ATLAS@CERN, Scholastic, 516 Arts, Los Alamos National Laboratory, and for the ISEA2012 electronic arts festival. In 2014 she co-founded The PASEO outdoor participatory art festival in Taos New Mexico, whose mission is to transform community through art and art through community. She developed the SUBE, Language through Art, Music & Games program, now in its 25th year. <em>Sci-art installations and STEMarts LAB youth workshops are available  for contracting or commission.</em>
