Experiments in Art and Technology with Artforum Editor Michelle Kuo

Summary

Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) was a group founded in 1966 by artist Robert Rauschenberg and engineer Billy Kluever, aiming to bring together artists and engineers to collaborate on projects that combined art and technology. They organized performances and exhibitions that incorporated new technologies, attracting prominent artists and art patrons. E.A.T. also addressed concerns about job automation and created a center for job training, workshops, and art exhibitions. Despite challenges and conflicts, E.A.T. demonstrated their global reach and ability to construct large-scale projects. The group's work challenged traditional notions of performance and explored the possibilities of art and technology.
