In this special Le Random artist conversation, hosted by Peter Bauman (Monk Antony, Le Random's editor in chief), we turn our attention to one of the most exciting shows of the year, Tate Modern (lerandom.art/subjects/tate-modern)'s Electric Dreams (lerandom.art/subjects/electric-dreams). Peter is joined by three extraordinary exhibiting artists that exemplify the aims of the show: Rebecca Allen (lerandom.art/subjects/rebecca-allen), Analívia Cordeiro (lerandom.art/subjects/analivia-cordeiro) & Eduardo Kac (lerandom.art/subjects/eduardo-kac). Conrad House (Nemo Cake, former Collection Lead at Le Random) co-hosts the talk.

"One of Tate (lerandom.art/subjects/tate) Modern’s most ambitious exhibitions to date," Electric Dreams is (tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/electric-dreams) a major historical exhibition on the roots of new media expression celebrating "the early innovators of optical, kinetic, programmed and digital art."

The artists reflect on their pioneering contributions to the major show, while sharing firsthand their experiences with the historical challenges and overdue recognition of digital art.
