Media Art Soap Box

What is 'media art'? Who is doing it and why? An eclectic group of London artists and designers working with technology explain all with audiovisual presentations of their work in our Media Art Soapbox.

Projects range from the sublime to the seemingly ridiculous. Mull over the idea of growing spare organs for yourself in your pet, or consider the 'architecture of '. There's a huge variety of questions on and approaches to media art... What would it be like to experience colour in the same way as a TV screen operates? How does the basic geometry of the Earth change as we get closer to it in an aeroplane? Do scientists see things differently because of the way they are trained to look at the world? What if mobiles phones were instruments of torture inflicting pain every time we disturb others? And isn't it time children's stories were adapted to suit the computer age we're living in?

Come and have your say in a series of mini workshops convened by art curators Andrew Chetty and Hannah Redler, art critic Piers Masterson and technologist Tom Quick.
