Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet

Disorientating exhibition at Tate Modern looking at the pioneers of electronic art.

It was too much for me as I suspected it would be. Too many flashing lights and playing with perception.  The labels were quite convoluted plus hard to read with the flashing and I just couldn’t engage.

I did like Jesus Rafael Soto’s “Cardinal” which hung rods in front of lines to appear 2D from the front, although 3D in reality, and Lilliane Lijn’s “Bride” however I just couldn’t stay very long in any of the installation style rooms.

Oh well I tried!
