In this special Le Random artist discussion—hosted by Peter Bauman (Monk Antony, Le Random's editor in chief)—we cover the upcoming Electric Op (lerandom.art/subjects/electric-op) exhibition at Buffalo AKG (lerandom.art/subjects/buffalo-akg). Our guests include four of the most influential voices in digital expression over the past two-three decades: Cory Arcangel (lerandom.art/subjects/cory-arcangel), Joan Heemskerk (lerandom.art/subjects/joan-heemskerk), Tali Hinkis (lerandom.art/subjects/tali-hinkis), and Rafael Lozano-Hemmer (lerandom.art/subjects/rafael-lozano-hemmer). Joining Peter is co-host Conrad House (Nemo Cake, former Collection Lead at Le Random). Each artist reflects on their unique practices and contributions to the Electric Op show, which bridges op art and digital media. We explore how their art interacts with technology’s aesthetic, cultural and historical dimensions.
