Tate Modern showcases pioneering digital art before the Internet

A new exhibition at Tate Modern, titled "Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet," showcases 150 works by 70 artists from the 1950s to the 1990s. It highlights how these artists used early technologies like LED lights and CRT monitors. The exhibition features innovative pieces, including installations by Alberto Biasi and Carlos Cruz-Diez, which engage visitors with light and interactive projections. The artworks reflect a vision of a digital future, created with the limited tools available at the time. This show contrasts with today's digital art, emphasizing the historical connection between art and technology. While the technologies may seem basic now, they were groundbreaking in their era, marking a significant evolution in artistic expression.
