Electric Dreams: a 'nerd's nirvana' at Tate Modern

Electric Dreams: a 'nerd's nirvana' at Tate Modern

"We are living in an age of geeks", and Tate Modern's "Electric Dreams: Art and Technology before the Internet" is an exhibition that would delight "our techie overlords in Silicon Valley", said Alastair Sooke in The Daily Telegraph.
The article from The Week discusses the "Electric Dreams" exhibition at Tate Modern, which explores the intersection of art and technology from the 1960s to the present. It highlights how artists have engaged with technological advancements, from early experiments with video and computers to contemporary digital art. Key points include the exhibition's focus on how technology has influenced artistic expression, the inclusion of works by both historical and contemporary artists like Nam June Paik and Hito Steyerl, and the exploration of themes such as surveillance, virtual reality, and the digital manipulation of images. The review notes the exhibition's attempt to provoke thought on the implications of technology in our lives, though it suggests that the show might be more about the spectacle of technology rather than a deep critique of its societal impact.
