In 1966, 10 New York artists worked with 30 engineers and scientists from
the Bell Telephone Laboratories to create groundbreaking performances that
incorporated new technology. They used video projection, wireless sound
transmission, and Doppler sonar -- technologies that are commonplace today
but that had never been seen in the art of the 1960s. Julie Martin, producer
of the "9 Evenings" DVD series, will discuss the film series as well as the
1966 event that was the first large-scale collaboration between artists,
engineers, and scientists. Open Score is co-produced by E.A.T. and ARTPIX
and distributed by Microcinema International.

About the Exhibition:
The works in this exhibition illustrate the breadth of creative digital
media that impact interdisciplinary practices across the arts, science and
technology research. This exhibition features interactive computer
installations, large format digital prints, and wearable technology,
representing a confluence of technology research and creativity that include
the visual arts, design, architecture, performance, science, technology and
engineering. The exhibited works share a common trajectory of exploring
speculative inquiries, imaginary scenarios and real-time phenomenon from
outer space to cyberspace; multi-dimensional space to urban space; public
space to virtually embodied space; ecological space to social space. 

This exhibition is dedicated to outgoing National Academy of Engineering
President William A. Wulf, in recognition of his many years of support for
the arts program at the National Academies in Washington D.C. Contributors
to this exhibition include: Nell Breyer, Sheldon Brown, Donna Cox, Roger
Dannenberg (opening night), Ernest Edmonds, Tiffany Holmes, Pamela Jennings,
Greg Judelman and Maria Lantin, George Legrady, Marcos Novak, Sabrina Raaf,
Bill Seaman, Thecla Schiphorst, Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau, and
Martin Wattenberg.
