Since 2019, the ������ Archives has collaborated with the Semantic Lab at Pratt Institute in a project focused on expanding access to archival materials related to  Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.).

Over the course of his six decades-long career Robert ������ (1925-2008) challenged artistic conventions, defied genres and media boundaries, and fostered unconventional collaborations between disparate communities—from dancers and musicians to scientists and engineers. In 1966, with Bell Laboratories engineer , ������ founded E.A.T., a seminal initiative to connect art and technology in an impactful way.

This project aims to expose the rich web of relationships surrounding ������’s life and work by leveraging linked data technologies and a dedicated suite of digital tools and applications. Using digitized materials from the ������ Archives, as well as materials from the director of E.A.T., Julie Martin, the project is focusing on a collection of approximately 150 items that document the initial phase of activity of E.A.T. The collection includes photos, notebooks, videos, posters, and newspaper clippings.
