In 1966, Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer, engineers at Bell Telephone Laboratories in New Jersey, teamed up with artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman to form a nonprofit organization, Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.). E.A.T.'s debut event, 9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering, integrated art, theater, and groundbreaking technology in a series of performances at the 69th Regiment Armory in Manhattan. Its second major event, the 1970 Pepsi Pavilion in Osaka, Japan, presented a complex, multisensory environment for the first world exposition held in Asia. At these events, and in the hundreds of collaborations E.A.T. facilitated in between, its members-including John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Deborah Hay, Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, and David Tudor-imagined innovative ways for art and science to intersect and enrich society. Sensing the Future tells the story of how this unique organization brought artists and engineers together to pioneer technology-based artworks and performances. Through the examination of films, photographs, diagrams, and ephemera from the archives of the Getty Research Institute, this volume provides a new perspective on multimedia art in the 1960s and 70s and highlights the ways E.A.T. pushed the role of the artist beyond the traditional art world.EXHIBITIONJ.

Sensing the Future: Experiments in Art and Technology explores a largely ignored conceptual and material transformation of the arts in the 1960s. Framed by nine performances at the New York Armory in October 1966 and the Pepsi Pavilion at Osaka’s Expo ’70, it focuses on the imaginative collaborations of engineers, especially Bell Labs’s visionary Billy Klüver, with artists, composers, and dancers―among them Tinguely and Rauschenberg, Cage and Tudor, Hay and Rainer. Through the examination of works that grew out of technological innovations and engaged the senses, editors Nancy Perloff and Michelle Kuo conclude that these experiences suggested the “future of modern society” as “contingent, shifting, and open-ended.” ― Jann Pasler, Distinguished Professor, University of California, San Diego
