A series of groundbreaking art and technology experiments took place
between 1965 and 1971, each seeking to integrate the advances of science
and technology within the spheres of art and culture. The Exploratorium,
itself a hybrid laboratory/museum environment, officially opened its
doors in 1969 with the traveling exhibition Cybernetic Serendipity,
organized by Jasia Reichardt for the Institute of Contemporary Art in
London. The show featured the explorations of artists and scientists inspired
by the creative possibilities of computation.
At the same time, a group of artists including Robert Rauschenberg and
Robert Whitman and engineers Billy Kluver and Fred Waldhauer formed
Experiments in Art & Technology (E.A.T.) to facilitate collaborations
between artists and engineers. The E.A.T. Pepsi Pavilion, an immersive
performance environment created for the Expo '70 in Osaka, Japan, is
generally regarded as the pinnacle of the group’s work. E.A.T. collaborator
Fujiko Nakaya (creator of the Exploratorium’s current outdoor installation
Fog Bridge) enshrouded the Pepsi Pavilion in billowing fog.
Interspatial, a day-long symposium organized by the Exploratorium’s
Center for Art & Inquiry, brings together key collaborators of the E.A.T.
Pepsi Pavilion project along with other artists, theorists, and interdisciplinary
thinkers to explore the legacy and influence of art and technology
experiments of the 1960s and '70s. The event will focus on architectural
and metaphorical conceptions of space. We will consider how these
experiments shaped the environments, networks, and hybrid cultures we
inhabit today and enabled the potential for exchange and new knowledge.
What inspires people to migrate outside of given domains of
expertise in cooperative efforts and why is that critical today?
