Cybersonica 2006

Invited by Lewis Sykes of Cybersalon to guest curate and co-ordinate the Cybersonica 2006 Sonic Art Exhibition. The exhibition ran for two weeks at the Vinyl Factory Gallery, Soho London.

This exhibition showcased a range of contemporary sonic and audiovisual works from a range of international artists. The works have been selected for their exciting approaches to creative interactivity. They move beyond the ‘screen, keyboard, mouse scenario’ and respond to physical input, proximity, sound, kinetics, elapsed time and the surrounding environment. The selected works are playful, engaging and accessible to all.
