Chinese-born Tsai's works on display at Tate Modern in 2016

Today, we are able to use many products such as smartphones that could be considered the result of the integration of art and science.

But in the 1960s, when engineer-turned-artist Tsai Wen-ying (1928-2013) presented his first cybernetic artwork, such interdisciplinary work was still new.

The pioneer's magical sculptures will be on display at a retrospective set to open at London's Tate Modern in May 2016, when the museum completes its new building, an additional south wing to the current gallery.
