curated by the V&A in collaboration with the leading digital arts organization, onedotzero,

the exhibition is composed of three themes: 'interactivity' looks at designs that
invite the viewers to contribute to the development of the works. one such project
is 'dandelion' sennep and yoke, which allows users to digitally 'blow away' the seeds
of a dandelion by use of a hair dryer. another project by london-based artist
mehmet akten is 'body paint'. the visual instrument invites users to paint on a virtual
canvas with their body, reading movements, gestures and dance to create compositions.

'code as material' features projects that utilize computer code to create
constantly fluid and ever changing designs. digital artist daniel brown has
on display a piece from his 'on growth and form series', a growing imaginary
plant that produces new buds, blossoms and stalks from advanced mathematics
and code. the 'plant' will continue to generate and grow over the course of the exhibition.

by new types of social interacting and media to create works and forms.
