Description

A handwritten note dates this clipping to the Sunday Telegraph of October 15, 1967. It reports the launch of Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) at Robert Rauschenberg’s New York studio five days earlier, with Billy Klüver of Bell Labs as its “midwife.” The illustration is Leon Harmon and Kenneth Knowlton’s computer-printed nude, Studies in Perception I, “believed to be the first nude ever limned by a computer,” though the article never names its makers. The collection holds the print.
