Installation art with projections, neon, and fluorescent lights as well as video art depend on a constant flow of electrical energy. New technologies have always offered new aesthetic and conceptual possibilities that artists have used intensively since the late 1960s. Precisely because this rapidly changing technology is part of everyday life and reflects the rapid and contradictory developments of the present, its messages are particularly relevant.
