Wise was committed to supporting the nexus of art and technology, particularly multimedia and kinetic art. In 1960 he opened the Howard Wise Gallery at 50 West 57th Street in New York, which became a locus for the kinetic art movement, featuring artists such as Len Lye, Takis, Jean Tinguely, and Group Zero. During a ten-year span, the gallery featured several groundbreaking exhibitions, including \"On the Move\" (1964) and \"Lights in Orbit\" (1967). Wise's most influential and provocative show was \"TV as a Creative Medium,\" the landmark 1969 exhibition that served to link the kinetic and art and technology movements of the 1960s with the emergent medium of video art. Seeking to support projects in this new medium, Wise closed the gallery in 1970 to found the nonprofit organization \u003cb\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.eai.org\/index.htm\"\u003eElectronic Arts Intermix.\u003c\/a\u003e\"\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e - \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.eai.org\/webpages\/1003\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.eai.org\/webpages\/1003\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eFeaturing Richard Aldcroft, Davide Boriani, Marta Boto, Howard Branston, Jackie Cassen and Rudi Stern, John Goodyear, John Healy, Richard Hogle, John Hoppe, Howard Jones, Roger Katan, Julio Le Parc, Heinz Mack, Frank Malina, Preston McClanahan, Boyd Mefferd, Edward Meneeley, Bruno Munari, Peter Myer, Gerald Oster, Nam June Paik, Abraham Palatnik, Otto Piene, Leo Rabkin, Earl Reiback, W.
