Founded in 1971, EAI is a nonprofit resource that fosters the creation, exhibition,
distribution and preservation of media art.

EAI is saddened by the death of Aldo Tambellini (1930-2020), a key figure in our organization's founding. Among the first wave of artists to experiment with television and video technology, Tambellini’s piece Black Spiral was one of thirteen works featured in "TV ​As a Creative Medium" (​1969), a catalytic exhibition at ​the Howard Wise Gallery that inspired Wise to close his gallery to found EAI as an alternative paradigm for video art.

Through the academic year, the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts in partnership with EAI will provide no-fee access to the entire series At Home With Mike Kelley for educational use. Learn more here.

EAI's Educational Streaming Service (ESS) is a digital resource providing educational and library users with streaming access to a growing collection. It now includes works by Nam June Paik, Ulysses Jenkins, Barbara Hammer, and more. Learn more.
