Welcome to Future Human, an exploration into the human potential of technology. In the series debut, we examine the origins of E.A.T. (Experiments in Art and Technology) – an unlikely pairing of artists and engineers in the 1960s which heralded some of the most impactful technological advances of the last century – and uncover the motivations for the recent reinvigoration of the program. For more information about E.A.T., check out https://www.bell-labs.com/explore/experiments-art-and-technology/. Future Human is a presentation of Nokia Bell Labs, produced by audiation.fm.
