Summary
"This exhibition is not the first devoted to electricity in the arts, but in many aspects, it is different-- above all in its structure according to the 'four Cs' (cinematography, cinétisme, cybernetics, computer art), whicht thus shows all forms of interdependency, intersectionality, variations, and interplays of electrified motion, light, machines, and media. Moreover, the exhibition differs in its contemporary relevance. Its basic aim is to demonstrate that, alongside many centuries of art without electricity ('unplugged art,' like 'unplugged music'), for the past 100 years there has existed an art based on electricity, 'plugged-in art'--the predominant singular achievement of the twentieth century. Even as museums and the market hesitate to accept electricity-based forms of art, future generations will claim that the true masterpieces of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries are not unplugged paintings and sculptures made by human hands but rather those artworks created with the technology at their epoch"--Page 36.
