Ikegami references Neuhaus in connection with a specific, landmark event in avant-garde art history:
9 Evenings: Theatre & Engineering (1966): Neuhaus was one of the ten artists and engineers involved in the 9 Evenings, a series of performances organized by Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.) at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York. Robert Rauschenberg was a co-founder of E.A.T. and a central organizer of the event.
A New Medium: Neuhaus's contribution, Drive-in Music, was a participatory radio transmission piece that transformed listeners' car radios into a mobile, collaborative sound system. Ikegami uses this event to illustrate the cross-disciplinary nature of the American avant-garde that Rauschenberg championed—a scene that merged visual art, performance, sound, and new technologies.
The E.A.T. Network: The mention positions Neuhaus as an active participant in Rauschenberg’s vision of a collaborative art world that transcended traditional disciplinary boundaries, utilizing industrial technology to create ephemeral and conceptual art experiences.
