The E.A.T. Knowledge Graph (Wikbase Project Page)

Background

Experiments in Art and Technology (A.E.T.)was an organization founded in 1966 by artists Robert Rauschenberg and Robert Whitman, along with engineers Billy Klüver and Fred Waldhaer. Active from the mid-1960s to the late 1970s, E.A.T. fostered collaborations between artists and engineers on a wide range of projects, including avant-garde artworks and performances, with the explicit goal of transforming both fields. Its mission states: "To firmly establish the artists' free access to technology, engineering and the technical processes is not only a cultural, educational or aesthetic problem but amounts in fact to an organic social revolution." The goal of the Knowledge Graph Project, developed by the Semantic Lab, is to represent this influential art initiative as knowledge graphs using scalable and transferable methods and tools.

Project Description

The E.A.T. Knowledge Graph Project applies semantic web principles and linked data technologies to primary and secondary sources documenting and describing the E.A.T. initiative. It is part of an ongoing collaboration with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Archives and the executive director of E.A.T., Julie Martin.

Sources

Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Archives' E.A.T. Collection
The most extensive data source consists of a collection of 141 archival materials from the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation Archives. This collection includes includes primarily textual documents related to E.A.T.’s initial phase. The institutional metadata associated with these materials were also converted into linked data.

Edge-notched Cards [ ingested ]
Another source of data was a collection of yellow McBee edge-notched cards created by the E.A.T. Technical Services Program and preserved at the Getty Research Institute's Experiments in Art and Technology records archival collection. (Additional information about the Getty's work understanding the long-term impact of experimental arts organization E.A.T. can be found HERE.) The goal of the program was to connect artists with engineers to facilitate collaborations. Information was documented on more than 300 cards, each listing an engineer's name, area of expertise, location, and affiliations. Handwritten notes on the backs of the cards indicated potential matches with artists based on shared project interests. For the pilot phase, we randomly selected a sample of 30 cards. The resulting graph represents 30 engineers and 85 artists. A visualization tool enables users to view, sort, and arrange scans of the cards.

E.A.T. Bibliography [ ingested ]
The E.A.T. Bibliography [1] is a published list of over 600 bibliographic references of printed material (books, articles, catalogs, and notices) related to the E.A.T. movement and activities from 1965 to 1980. We have converted a subset of 447 covering the period from 1965 to 1969. Each bibliographic reference is linked to its item pages and, if available, to the digital copy of the referenced document. Further details can be found on the E.A.T. Bibliography Wikibase project page. A browsable version of the E.A.T. Bibliography, driven by SPARQL queries, has been developed for online navigation.

Story of E.A.T. [ ingested ]
Story of E.A.T. Part I and Story of E.A.T. Part II dated 2001 and written by Billy Klüver.
