_Metabiosis - Go Forth & * Exhibition and Workshop, Huddersfield_


The Digital Research Unit and the Media Centre invite you to the
first British exhibition of Metabiosis - Go Forth and *, and the
physical computing workshop CATkit.


Exhibition of Go Forth & *
————————–

Opening: 11 July 7 - 9pm
Exhibition runs from 12 July until 17 August 2007
10am - 5pm, Monday to Friday

Create your own data-packet to live on a network of computers.
Give your packet a personality! Is it shy? Outgoing? Is it afraid
to leave its home or is it more of a traveler? Is your packet
screaming for attention or is it more of a loner? Answer the
questions and set your packet free.

Your packet will soon bump into other packets, and start to
interact, maybe even to breed, but its limited lifespan means that
one day it must face the inevitable … packet heaven.

Follow your packets ups and downs, its travels and its offspring
by following its journeys through the three computer based
ecosystems in this installation.

Go forth & * is a project by Aymeric Mansoux and Marloes de Valk.
