A new exhibition at London’s Tate Modern, titled “Electric Dreams”, looks at the period between WWII and the invention of the internet to explore the relationship between digital art and technology.

In this Mashable Original, we speak to assistant curator Odessa Warren about how artists in 20th century played with the new, cutting-edge tools that society at the time often feared.

“Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet” is showing at Tate Modern until June 1 2025.
