Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) was a nonprofit founded in 1967 by engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhauer and artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman to pair artists with engineers.
They called themselves Experiments in Art and Technology. And I think people don't give enough credit for the use of that word. They were experimenting. They'd never done any of this before.

This was also the rise of the “artist-in-residence” model, with some artists eager to work with corporations in order to obtain funds and access to expensive tools. The mission of E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology) was precisely about expanding this model.
