Spanning five decades of rigorous artistic practice and groundbreaking experimentation, EAI's vast archive of media art continues to grow each year, embracing both important historical works and adventurous new works by young artists. The hour-long program features works newly added to the EAI archive by a multi-generational group of artists including Jaime Davidovich, Andrew Lampert, Kristin Lucas, Cynthia Maughan, Takeshi Murata and Martha Rosler.
