Newly commissioned «Ed Atkins: Get Life/Love’s Work»  marks the inaugural exhibition of the partnership, which aims to foster meaningful exchange between the fields of art and technology. 

The exhibition on view from June 24th to September 27th, continues the British artist’s relationship with the New Museum, where he presented his work three times. The new project focuses on the ways bodies and technology are intertwined in everyday life, while as always in Atkin’s work, technology will be analyzed as an allegorical interrogation of itself. Get Life/Love’s Work will open up a series of exhibitions produced in collaboration with scientists, engineers, and researchers from the Experiments in Art and Technology program at Nokia Bell Labs. This project also builds upon Nokia Bell Labs’ support of the E.A.T. track at NEW INC, the New Museum’s cultural incubator, which provides artists, technologists, and others with the tools to make and research born-digital art, through mentorship from staff at Nokia Bell Labs and Rhizome, the New Museum affiliate that champions born-digital art and culture.

新委托的展览《Ed Atkins: Get Life’s Work》是标志纽约新当代艺术博物馆与诺基亚贝尔实验室作为伙伴关系的首次展览，旨在促进艺术与技术领域之间有意义的交流。

Ed Atkins是位英国艺术家，曾在纽约新当代艺术博物馆举办过三次作品展览，而此次展览于6月24日一直持续到9月27日，更是密切延续了Ed Atkins与纽约新当代艺术博物馆之间的关系。此次展览关注的是在日常生活中身体与技术之间相互交织影响的方式，而通常在Ed Atkins的作品中，技术将被分析为对自身的一种讽喻性审问。Get Life 's Work将与诺基亚贝尔实验室艺术与科技实验项目的科学家、工程师以及研究人员合作，举办一系列展览。这个计划需得到诺基亚贝尔实验室的支持——在纽约新当代艺术博物馆的文化孵化器NEW INC进行艺术与科技轨道实验，通过诺基亚贝尔实验室和纽约新当代艺术博物馆旗下附属机构Rhizome的员工的指导，为艺术家、技术人员和其他人提供制作和研究数码艺术的工具。
