Electronic Superhighway: From Experiments in Art and Technology to Art after the Internet

Beginning with Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman’s 1966 Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) with Bell Laboratories engineers, and including new and rarely seen multimedia works, film, painting, sculpture, photography and drawings by over 70 artists such as Cory Arcangel, Roy Ascott, Jeremy Bailey, Judith Barry, Trevor Paglen, Nam June Paik, Ryan Trecartin and Ulla Wiggen, this publication tells the story of a global visual culture. It includes essays by curator Omar Kholeif, Ed Halter and Erika Balsom; conversations between pioneering video artist Judith Barry and Sarah Perks; and newly commissioned artist interviews with Ulla Wiggen and Jonas Lund by Séamus McCormack, plus a sequence of artist interventions from Douglas Coupland.
