"Cinema On Air" featured an evening of projected silent video works, selected from the EAI Collection, accompanied by two simultaneous sound performances heard through radio headphones. Audience members could tune in to either of the two live soundtracks, watch the works in silence, or sample all three experiences.

This event was co-presented by Electronic Arts Intermix, free103point9, and Socrates Sculpture Park. "Cinema On Air" was the concluding event of Socrates' "Summer Solstice" programs.

As the keystone of EAI's 30th anniversary events, Museum of Modern Art presented First Decade: Video from the EAI Archives, a major retrospective that looked at the early days of video through EAI's historical collection. Featuring 60 works, the twelve-part program explored themes and issues ranging from performance and the body; narrative; cultural essays; activism, and poetics.
