Unleashed Devices is an exhibition of DIY, hacking and open source projects by artists who explore technologies critically and creatively. By reconstructing, remixing and reinventing everyday electronic devices, these take on a new life as they shift our vision of the use of data and purpose of technology. Playing with frontiers, such projects not only challenge our conception of technology but also music, art and design. Here, they reveal the power of DIY modes as tools to stimulate social reflection and participation. Unleashed Devices was co-curated with Irini Papadimitriou, Head of New Media Arts Development at Watermans, more information can be found at TINT

Image as a documentation of a 3-Dimensional form is limited to the boundaries of a frame. It allows us to capture an object and to archive a moment in time, but how we perceive the areas outside the extremities of the 2-dimensional image is dependent upon our interpretations. Unable to see all the viewpoints of an object or setting within this space, our minds create a logical impression of how it would appear were we to be placed at the instance of the image.

The progression of Interactive art is not a recent phenomenon, originally explored in the 1960’s; it’s visibility in the art world has often been shrouded, seen as a fad created by artists whose principal concern is in producing works of technical trickery, rather than artworks that pursue an intellectual and referential meaning. However, in society and indeed culture we are forever forging stronger relationships with technology. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), GPS, iPhones and the Internet are all examples of the daily influences of digital media. This interaction has and is continuing to shape the way we live, how we perceive our environment, the way we communicate with each other, and importantly how we view our relationship with art. Passing Through explores the movement of the spectator turned interactor on a personal journey, engaging in direct conversation with the artworks in order to realise and complete the work that would not exist without his/her actions.
