Founded in 1988, ASCI is one of the few art & technology and science members organisations in the USA. Established primarily as a network for artists who either use or are inspired by science, ASCI has become a magnet for some of the best examples of this type of contemporary art and for scientists wishing to collaborate. ASCI programs and services provide members with opportunities for professional growth, increased public visibility, and a supportive community. ASCI publishes a bi-weekly ASCI Bulletin that offers easy access to information and resources. Exhibition, commission, and publication opportunities have been made by partnering with, the New York Hall of Science, Manhattan Marymount College and the LEONARDO journal, among others.

Time's Up Research Laboratory are a research organisation exploring hybrids of science and art. Loosely catagorised as "pseudoscience", Time's Up's current activities encompass explorations into antiqutated technology and a research project called Closing the Loop, which looks at the interaction between art biomechanics, perceptual engineering and other hybrid disciplines. CTL 2000 was held Australia, as part of the Telstra Adelaide Festival: Biomachines event.
