https://www.ntticc.or.jp/ja/feature/2003/EAT/preface_j.html  NTT InterCommunication CenterICC will hold “E.A.T.—Experiments in Art and Technology” in ICC Galleries A and B from Friday, April 11, 2003, to Sunday, June 29.  E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology) is a group formed in the mid-1960s around engineer Billy Klüver, then at AT&T’s Bell Telephone Laboratories, together with painter Robert Rauschenberg, Robert Whitman, and others.  Based in New York, conducted numerous experiments connecting art and technology across diverse expressive genres, including visual art, dance, electronic music, and video.  Representative projects include the 1966 event “9 Evenings: Theatre and Engineering,” involving as many as 40 engineers; organizing the 1968 “Some More Beginnings” exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum; and the “Pepsi Pavilion” at the 1970 Osaka Expo. At its peak, it had several thousand members.  E.A.T.'s activities can be considered pioneering for the later expressive genre of performance and collaboration in a broad sense, and are said to have provided the foundation for establishing the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT in 1967.  Although its activities as a large organization effectively ended in the mid-1970s, E.A.T.'s concepts and spirit have greatly influenced the field of “art and technology” from the 1980s onward.  This is Japan's first exhibition comprehensively introducing these E.A.T. activities through contemporary documents and other materials. Particularly centered on Billy Klüver's footsteps, it exhibits his collaborations of the time with Rauschenberg and others, also introduces new works by E.A.T.-related artists, and clarifies its historical significance, directly connected to the principles of ICC's current activities.
