Electric Dreams at the Tate Modern, London: November 28, 2024 – June 1, 2025
Later this month at the Tate Modern, a mesmerising new show will take a look at the intersection of art and technology before the internet age. A wide-ranging curation of artworks by more than 70 artists, working across Asia, Europe and the Americas from the 1950s to the early 1990s, will reveal the idiosyncratic blend of science, technology and material innovation that first brought optical, kinetic, programmed and digital art to life. Billed as “a rare opportunity to experience incredible vintage tech art in action”, the show promises everything from trippy psychedelic installations to early home computer and video-synthesiser experiments.
