There’s a new exhibit at the New York MOMA on music, art, and technology. Here’s the description from the website. 

“Music was at the forefront of interdisciplinary experimentation in the 1960s, when the mixing of media really took off, and musicians led the way in developing new working methods. This screening series, presented in conjunction with a series of early media and related drawings, prints, and photographs in the Media Gallery, examines the radical role of music in the early development of media art, and includes documentary and experimental films, and music videos.”  

The exhibit features materials from the Beatles, David Bowie, Laurie Anderson, and others.  You can find the website here.
