John Cage’s Variations VII! (1966) drew sound from telephones linked to restaurants, studios, and printing presses, alongside machines like blenders + geiger counters. We’re tracing how artists + engineers staged radical experiments in the E.A.T. Knowledge Graph. 📸 www.instagram.com/p/DObrtzpjrA...

Yvonne Rainer’s Carriage Discreteness! (1966) combined performer instructions with programmed actions—slabs + cubes in motion, slides of animals, even a rising weather balloon. We’re mapping these intersections of dance + tech in the E.A.T. Knowledge Graph. 📸 www.instagram.com/p/DOJ-o2NjiK...

Pianist David Tudor turned a bandoneon into an electronic “combine,” wiring it to modulators + amplifiers so sound generated light and moving image. A performance that redefined the possibilities of art + technology, which we are mapping in the EAT knowledge graph📸 www.instagram.com/p/DN3OIxkXPg...

In Open Score (1966), each strike of a tennis ball dimmed the lights until the Armory went dark. Then, hundreds of performers emerged, visible only through infrared cameras + projections. A landmark moment we’re tracing in the E.A.T. Knowledge Graph. 📸 www.instagram.com/p/DNlRBIUupm...

Alex Hay's "Grass Field" (1966) turned the body into an instrument by amplifying brain waves, breath, and movement. Part of 9 Evenings, this groundbreaking work will live on in our E.A.T. Knowledge Graph.
