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, cinetisme, cybernetics, computer art), which 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.
"This exhibition catalogue is the first comprehensive survey of art forms based on electricity and electronics. It presents a logical structure of their evolution from mechanical to digital technologies. Around the year 1900, machine motion and artificial light entered the art world. Moving machines paved the way for moving images, and with them arose the "Four Cs": first cinematography, the art of illusionary movement, followed by cinetisme (kineticism), the art of real movement, and then cybernetic and computer art, which built the innovative achievements of the art of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. They differ from the "unplugged" masterpieces of the past in that they were created with the tools of their times. A civilization that function entirely on the basis of electricity and electronics is mirrored by an art that uses the technology of its epoch"-- Peter Weibel, from lower cover.
