If artist Robert Rauschenberg and Bell Labs engineer Billy Kluver were still alive today to visit the Contemporary Jewish Museum's new exhibition, "NEAT: New Experiments in Arts and Technology," it's a fair bet they would both be pleased to see the once-radical ideas they espoused in the 1960s - about breaking down barriers between artists and engineers - thriving in the current work of the Bay Area digital artists on display.
