Founded in 1971, Electronic Arts Intermix (EAI) is a leading international resource for video and media art. Its collection spans the mid-1960s to the present and contains over 3,500 new and historical video works by artists including seminal videos by pioneering figures such as Nam June Paik, Bruce Nauman, Martha Rosler, and Joan Jonas. The Educational Streaming Site is a special subscription access layer which includes full-length streaming videos.

From the inception of its art department through the late 1960s, UC Irvine harbored a group of the most advanced artists, students and art writers in California, if not outside of New York. This exhibition showcased the work of significant artists from this concise period (1964-1971), drawing connections among their works and contextualizing them within California and the rest of the nation.
