The Collective

Title

Short paragraph for context (what you will do) or if you are offering to be a part of the collective & join other projects, what you can offer etc.

Rosie and Daniel will be showing an installation that explores how diverse digital practises can be connected through the “Internet of Things”. There will be a virtual world of artificial creatures that explores alternative views of what it means to be alive. It will respond to input from a set of roaming robots, which explore the space.

How will the public get involved (invited participants, targeted audiences i.e schools, groups)

Workshops & interaction

The robots provide a route through which the physical space, and the interactions within that space can be digitally translated into an artificial, virtual representation.

Type of event it is (workshop, intervention, gathering, performance etc)

Interactive workshop
