Happening 31 March - 27 May 2006
An unforgettable presentation of interactivity and user-friendliness takes over the Media Lounge. Artworks created by Caen Botto, Josh Nimoy and Simon Poulter represent research undertaken by Liverpool John Moores University School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences, on how humans use and interact with computers. Sound- based software toys, an ATM for the history of ideas and low-tech motion sensors with which to connect to virtual worlds are some of the solutions they suggested to bridge the gap between humans and 'the machine'.
