Tom Wilkinson's kinetic wave sculpture Lightwave features in Ars Electronica's exhibition 'What machines Dream Of', at Unter den Linden, Berlin till August. This is the latest exhibition from the dynamic Austrian organisation and pioneers of technological art critique and curation, continuing their fascination with machines, art and technology.

The machines in this exhibition are machines that mesmerise in their beauty, they are art-machines. Neither perfect, nor rational, or existing to fulfil menial tasks, these machines exist on the edge of the imagination. They represent the cusp between machines that think and machines that do. This exhibition invites us to consider the question 'what do machines dream of?' and if they dream 'do they dream as we do?'. In a modern age where our fantasies, dreams and fears are closely connected with technology, and this narrative of real and unreal, living and mechanical has been created through fiction and literature, here we see the machines that embody this dialogue.

What machines Dream Of features artworks by Charlie Bucket, Leo Peschta, Benjamin Cowden, Michael Pflueger, Ursula Neugebauer, Winifred Ritsch, Peter Ablinger, and a collaborative artwork by Christa Sommerer and Laurent Mignonneau. the exhibition is curated by Ars Elelctronica's Martin Honzik and Gerfried Stocker.
