About
Why this artist matters now
Billy Klüver was a Swedish engineer and artist who pioneered collaborations between artists and technologists in the postwar period. He co-founded Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) in 1966 with Robert Rauschenberg, establishing a framework for sustained creative exchange between visual artists and Bell Laboratories engineers. Klüver's work centered on the possibilities of technology as a medium for artistic expression rather than as a tool or subject, fundamentally shaping how artists engaged with electronics, light, and systems-based practice.
