Inspired by the seminal 1968 exhibition at the ICA, ‘Cybernetic Serendipity’, ‘star dot star’ examines the influence that electronic art from the 1960’s has had on current practice. It draws attention to the extensive – but often overlooked in the wider picture – history of computer use in the production of art in the last 30 years and attempts to debunk the ‘newness’ often attributed to artworks using new technology.
