Automation is not necessarily new but I think what is new and different today is the extreme concentration of power, whether that is power in the form of data, compute or access.

For the exhibition broadly, one of the biggest challenges for this work is just how technically intensive it is: the amount of screens, projectors and media players it requires; the AV support that it demands; the networking; and the power infrastructure, especially for a building that was built in the early 1900s.
