Synopsis

CAS Talk & Exhibition by Genetic Moo
“Interactive Art Is Best”
This free event marks the launch of their new book Interactive Art with Genetic Moo, commissioned by the Computer Art Society (CAS). Alongside the one-hour talk, there will be a small exhibition of their work, including photographs documenting audience interaction.”
A free PDF edition of the book will be available via the CAS website from 16 June. A print-on-demand version will follow on Amazon in early July.

Demystifying the entire collaborative process of creating large-scale interactive art. Ever wonder what it takes to build a living, breathing interactive art exhibition? From the pioneers, the inspirations, the technicians, the producers, the coders, the curators, the sound designers and everyone else, even the audience.

Genetic Moo pulls back the curtain on this complex world. Join them at the Computer Arts Society (BCS, London) on Tuesday 16 June, where they will try to explain why Interactive Art is the best.

See their art in action, plus pre-order their new book - a multi-perspective guide designed to help emerging artists navigate this fascinating and rewarding space.
