In 1966 years ago the New York art scene experienced an event that would unknowingly pave the way for a new era of collaboration between artists and engineers. "9 Evenings" was a series of performances led by Robert Rauschenberg combining music, theatre, dance, film and video – a groundbreaking collaboration of 10 artists and 30 technicians from Bell Telephone Laboratories amidst the creative whirl of the 1960s. Participants included the likes of John Cage, Lucinda Childs, Öyvind Fahlström, Alex Hay, Steve Paxton, Yvonne Rainer, Deborah Hay, David Tudor and Robert Whitman, and Rauschenberg.
