E.A.T.'s debut event, 9 Evenings: Theatre & 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. Paul Getty Museum, Getty CenterSeptember 10, 2024-February 23, 2025 Clear-eyed and clear-eared insights by scholars at the very top of their topics, and beautifully designed and illustrated with archival treasures from the Getty Research Institute, Sensing the Future is an indispensable document on Experiments in Art and Technology, and on key events of the period in art, music, dance, performance, and everything in-between. - Douglas Kahn, author of Earth Sound Earth Signal: Energies and Earth Magnitude in the ArtsThis book presents multifaceted scholarly investigations of an organization that was committed to collaborations among artists, engineers, and scientists, but it was also an organization that continued to reinvent itself as it seized new opportunities to change society and the future. - Julie Martin Sensing the Future: Experiments in Art and Technology explores alargely ignored conceptual and material transformation of the arts in the1960s. Framed by nine performances at the New York Armory in October 1966 andthe Pepsi Pavilion at Osaka’s Expo ’70, it focuses on the imaginativecollaborations of engineers, especially Bell Labs’s visionary Billy Klüver,with artists, composers, and dancers—among them Tinguely and Rauschenberg, Cageand Tudor, Hay and Rainer. Through the examination of works that grew out oftechnological innovations and engaged the senses, editors Nancy Perloff andMichelle Kuo conclude that these experiences suggested the “future of modernsociety” as “contingent, shifting, and open-ended.” — Jann Pasler,Distinguished Professor, University of California, San DiegoLanguage: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 254mmItem Length: 203mmContributor: Nancy Perloff (Edited by), Michelle Kuo (Edited by)Author: Nancy PerloffGenre: Arts & PhotographyRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
