November: Ludic Rooms' FargoHackPlaySpace

An informal exhibition of new interactive works by Ludic Rooms.
Sunday 27th November 4-9pm
 
This Sunday we will be hosting the Fargo Hack Play Space, an informal exhibition and sharing of new work from our residency at the Talking Birds curated Fargo Space.

We love watching people play with the Don’t Touch Screen at Warwick Arts Centre; that little moment of joy people feel as they realise they are in control of the piece, no matter the technology.  We were keen to try and create something new that explored that same interaction between analogue and digital.
 
We’ve been busy beavering away for the last month, using our time in the Fargo Space for research and development to create a series of new interactive works. We’ve been working with sensors and servos, monitors and projectors, light and sound. And we’d love for you to come and have a play with what we’ve made.

All of the pieces are interactive, you help create the work; responding to touch, movement, sound and light.

Unit 4, Far Gosford Industrial Estate, Coventry will be transformed into a technology play space, open to the public from 4pm. Please bring all the family, our work is for kids big and small.

If you’re intrigued, but not sure, watch out for some new videos on the website explaining the new work, coming very soon. We’ve been blogging the work so far at www.ludicrooms.com

If you have any questions, tweet us @ludicrooms or drop us an email us@ludicrooms.com.

Saturday and Sunday we are also hosting some ‘pay what you can’ circuit bending workshops.
Join us as we explore everyday electronics and the possibilities that they hold. Each group of participants will take apart an electronic gadget/toy and learn the necessary new skills to enable its repurpose. The modified gadget will be taken home as a souvenir.

Still some tickets left – http://lr007.eventbrite.com //

This project has been realised thanks to the funding and support from Coventry City Council Small Arts Grant Scheme and the Talking Birds Fargo SPACE Programme.
