Education R&D Quantum Dome Campus
University Partnerships & Advanced Media Lab ART‑TECH will establish a next‑generation research media lab—an academic satellite where faculty and graduate students from Stanford, Dartmouth, San Jose State, and other universities conduct classes, research, and community projects within a quantum‑enabled learning environment.
Computational Media Studies Stanford’s Human‑Computer Systems Architect Sha Xin will lead development of cybernetic learning environments modeled after MIT’s Media Lab. These environments merge performance art, literature, mathematics, physics, engineering, and computer science to explore the future of new media and human cognitive expansion.
Cognitive Research & Techno‑Science History Professor Timothy Lenoir (Stanford) will build a large‑scale video archive documenting post‑war technological science. This archive becomes a central hub for studying the culture, evolution, and impact of new media.
Medical Video Streaming & Informatics Stanford researchers are developing advanced medical‑informatics video systems enabling personalized, interactive physician consultations. These technologies will serve as prototypes for ART‑TECH’s educational and creative media applications.
Video Archives, Parsing & Image RecognitionProfessor Filia Makedon (Dartmouth) and her graduate teams will apply cutting‑edge video parsing and image‑recognition research to develop innovative media technologies for the ART‑TECH ecosystem.

Our Story Your Vision Your Future ...
Formation of the Silicon Valley Institute of Art + Technology
Founded on December 22, 1995, the Silicon Valley Institute of Art and Technology (ART‑TECH) was created by visionary partners Meryle Karloff Holmes and Roy Bentley Holmes, pioneers who previously helped establish the New York Museum of Holography in Manhattan.
Their early work brought holography into commercial use, including landmark point‑of‑purchase displays featuring Tom Selleck as the Marlboro Man.
ART‑TECH’s original San Jose headquarters showcased the emerging fusion of art and technology, hosting forward‑looking exhibitions and keynote speakers such as Arthur Miller and Inge Morath. The Institute’s founding board included Meryle Karloff Holmes, William H. Spence, Consuelo Santos‑Killins, Michael Malone, and Thomas Hayes.
After a dormant period, ART‑TECH was re‑established in 2022 with Meryle continuing as Executive Director and a renewed board committed to expanding the Institute’s mission. Today, ART‑TECH blends art, technology, sustainable agriculture, healing arts, and innovative infrastructure into a living campus environment designed to inspire, educate, and empower future creators.
