Collective:Unconscious is a non-profit corporation, founded in New York City in 1994, and incorporated in 1995. Originally based on Ludlow Street on Manhattan's Lower East Side, in 2004 it relocated to Tribeca until July 2008.
Collective:Unconscious has had a notable effect on New York City's downtown culture, society, and entertainment, and has been recognized in the way of financial support by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the New York Department of Cultural Affairs, partial support from a 2001 Absolut Angel grant for art and technology, and a formal permanent position in the New York University Elmer Holmes Bobst Library special Fales Library Downtown Collection.
A nearby performance art space in the East Village was known as Gargoyle Mechanique, Collective: Unconscious, and Unconscious Collective, and while some overlap between these organizations exists, they have no official affiliation with Collective:Unconscious or Collective:Unconscious Corporation.
