'Ghosts in the Machine' surveys the constantly shifting relationship between humans, machines and art. Occupying the Museum's three main galleries, the exhibition examines artists' embrace of, and fascination with technology, as well as their prescient awareness of the ways in which technology can transform subjective experience. International in scope, 'Ghosts in the Machine' spans more than fifty years and incorporates works by a range of historical figures and contemporary artists from fifteen countries. Together, the works on view will trace the complex journey from the mechanical to the optical to the virtual, looking at the ways in which humans have projected anthropomorphic behaviors onto machines and how those machines have become progressively more human.
