A journey through more than forty years of artistic experimentation that turned technology into a creative language.

The group exhibition ELECTRIC DREAMS. Art & Technology Before the Internet, organized by Tate Modern and OGR Torino, explores how late-twentieth-century artists used technological tools, often developed in military or corporate contexts, to redefine collective imagination and spark critical reflection, before the widespread adoption of the Internet.

An international exploration highlighting the dialogue between visual art, media, and innovation, tracing a cultural genealogy of artistic practices that anticipated our digital present.

Alongside Laure Prouvost’s installation WE FELT A STAR DYING, the exhibition spans from pioneering experiments of the late twentieth century to contemporary research into quantum computing and artificial intelligence, reinforcing OGR Torino’s mission as an international hub for artistic and technological production and experimentation.

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue, which will be presented on Saturday 1 November 2025 at 10am at Libreria Internazionale Luxemburg (via Cesare Battisti 11/D, Turin). Following an introduction by Marco Zappalorto, Director of Strategies and International Partnerships at OGR Torino, the conversation will feature artist Liliane Lijn, Val Ravaglia, Curator Displays and International Art Tate Modern, and Samuele Piazza, Senior Curator OGR Torino, together with Francesco Manacorda, Director of Castello di Rivoli, offering further insight into the exhibition’s themes and Lijn’s autobiography Liquid Reflections, published by Hamish Hamilton, Penguin Random House.
