Financial Times, Sunday morning, Nov. 24, 2024 — "With hindsight, Harold Cohen’s story looks like a parable, a possibility for an artist to neither dominate nor fear encroaching technology, but to grow alongside it. His is one of many little-known stories told in Tate Modern’s new exhibition Electric Dreams: Art and Technology Before the Internet (opening on November 28), which brings together work from more than 70 artists inspired by and creating art with technology between the end of the second world war and the dawn of the internet as we know it in the early 1990s. This spans a period of immense technological development during which, as curator Val Ravaglia points out, the computer evolved from being the size of an entire room to a discreet box that could fit on or under a desk. The artists who harnessed and responded to this rapid social change provide an intriguing precedent for many of the conversations playing out in the art world today." |

From the Wallace Stevens poem
"An Ordinary Evening in New Haven" —
XIX
The moon rose in the mind and each thing there
Picked up its radial aspect in the night,
Prostrate below the singleness of its will.
That which was public green turned private gray.
At another time, the radial aspect came
From a different source. But there was always one:
A century in which everything was part
Of that century and of its aspect, a personage,
A man who was the axis of his time,
An image that begot its infantines,
Imaginary poles whose intelligence
Streamed over chaos their civilities.
What is the radial aspect of this place,
This present colony of a colony
Of colonies, a sense in the changing sense
Of things? A figure like Ecclesiast,
Rugged and luminous, chants in the dark
A text that is an answer, although obscure.
