This major exhibition will celebrate the early innovators of optical, kinetic, programmed and digital art, who pioneered a new era of immersive sensory installations and automatically-generated works. One of Tate Modern’s most ambitious shows to date, Electric Dreams will offer visitors a rare chance to experience incredible works of vintage tech art in action - from psychedelic environments created in the 1950s and 60s, to early machine-made art from the 70s and 80s, which has paved the way for today’s experiments with AI. Bringing together an international network of artists who used machines and algorithms to create mesmerising and mind-bending art between the 1950s and early 1990s, the exhibition will show how these ground breaking figures imagined a visual language for the future.
