    Historicizing (part 2) with W. Patrick McCray
    This session offers a historical perspective on Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) through archival material and scholarly contributions. It opens with a recorded conversation between Billy Klüver, engineer and co-founder of E.A.T., and Hans Ulrich Obrist (LUMA Arles), followed by a presentation from W. Patrick McCray (University of California, Santa Barbara), whose work examines the intersections of science, technology, and culture.
    The panel discussion brings together Michelle Kuo (MoMA) and Maria Rosario Jackson (Arizona State University), who reflect on the artistic, social, and institutional dimensions that have shaped the development and legacy of E.A.T.
