The Butler Institute of American Art – Press Release

On view at Tate Modern in London Nov. 28, 2024 – June 1, 2025, this historical exhibition will generate new knowledge and public appreciation of optical, kinetic, programmed, and digital art. Many artists from the David Bermant collection will be included in the show.

The exhibition celebrates the radical artists who began using machines and algorithms to create hypnotic and mind-bending art between the 1950s and the 1980s. From the birth of op art to the dawn of cybernetics, this major exhibition will be a rare chance to experience incredible works of vintage tech art in action, including psychedelic environments, sensory installations and machine-generated artworks.
