The exhibition 'Sensing the Future: Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.)' at LUMA Arles delves into the influential legacy of E.A.T., a movement founded in 1966 by artists and engineers to merge creative practice with technological innovation. Featuring works from prominent figures, the exhibition spans a dynamic era that saw the dismantling of barriers between art and science. By showcasing archival documents, film footage, and significant artworks, the exhibition highlights key moments in E.A.T.'s history, from its peak in the late 1960s to the challenges faced after the 1973 oil crisis, reflecting on its lasting impact.
E.A.T. emerged as a radical platform that reimagined the possibilities of creative practice through direct collaboration between artists and technologists.
The mid-60s to mid-70s period were by all accounts the most fervent years of E.A.T., aligning art and science through mutual fascination.
The exhibition surveys a transformative period where barriers between disciplines—art and science—were actively dismantled, showcasing works by influential artists and engineers.
The 1973 oil crisis signaled a shift, with public funding drying up and many participants pursuing independent trajectories despite E.A.T.'s foundational vision.
