additional info
With Bell Laboratories research scientist, Billy Klüver, Rauschenberg realized some of his most ambitious technological works, including the sound-producing sculptural environment, “Oracle” (1962–65), as well as “Soundings” (1968), a monumental light installation responsive to ambient sound. Both works were meant to be experienced by the audience spatially and appeal to the senses beyond the purely visual. In 1966, Rauschenberg and Klüver, together with artist Robert Whitman and engineer Fred Waldhauer, founded Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.), New York, an organization that sought to make technology accessible to artists by arranging collaborations with engineers.
