interviews with 2 individuals that are involved with art and technology:


Working in collaboration with such artists as Robert Raushenberg, Andy Warhol, and Robert Whitman, Billy Kluver was at the forefront of the "Art and Technology" movement of the late 1960's.

In an attempt to bring artists and engineers together, Kluver -- a Ph.D in Electrical Engineering -- formed Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) with Robert Rauschenberg in 1966. Still directing Experiments in Art and Technology after thirty years, Kluver explains the inspiration, formation, and operation of the group -- and shares some of his views of technology and art.


Leading the San-Francisco-based "Survival Research Laboratories", Mark Pauline has distinguished himself as one of the pioneers of large-scale machine-based performance. Since starting S.R.L. in 1979, Pauline has directed nearly fifty shows -- scavenging and incorporating technology from the silicon valley into a massive spectacle of steel, hydraulics, flame, power, and fear.
