Again to stimulate interest in the technical
community, E.A.T. in the fall of 1967, announced a competition
for the best contribution by an engineer to a work of
art made in collaboration with an artist. The prize was
to be given to the engineer. We also called for works
incorporating technology to be selected for an exhibition
organized by Pontus Hulten, "The Machine as Seen at the
End of the Mechanical Age," at the MoMA in the fall of
1968. E.A.T. offered to match all interested engineers
and artists. The judges for the competition were all engineers.
The E.A.T. competition had generated more
than 120 submissions, including works by Ralph Morrill
and Norton Wise, and the decision was made to show all
these works.
