ArtBus is an open source community project under development in the department of Art and Technology Studies, and the department of Architecture, Interior Architecture and Designed Objects at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

The project was initiated by Ed Bennett in 2006, and has been actualized through the efforts of a number of individuals interested in making and using new tools and technology. Thanks to Prof. Steven Waldeck for generous support and encouragement, and to Anna Yu for administrative and logistical support. Technical contributions and examples of works using the ArtBus can be seen at http://ArtBusInterface.com .

Ed Bennett is the research specialist in the department of Art and Technology in the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He has just celebrated his twentieth anniversary with the Electronics and Kinetics area at SAIC.
