Group show explores where technology meets spirituality and folklore - The Art Newspaper

Around 1906, Hilma af Klint was living in Stockholm, where she kept a studio. Deeply engaged with Christian esotericism, she channeled her mystic visions into a series of otherworldly paintings that art historians acknowledge to be the first known abstract works in the canon, a paradigm shift in 20th-century art that had previously been credited to Wassily Kandinsky starting around 1910. What continues to awe us today about af Klint’s works is she didn’t view her vibrant paintings strictly as artworks, but as a result of spiritual channeling. Their production also coincided with a period of incredible scientific discovery. Nikola Tesla had just developed the alternating current (AC) electricity system, plus generated the first radio transmissions, when he then used to create a remote control. And 1905 was Einstein’s “miracle year” with the publication of his seminal theory of relativity.
