Abandon_Normal_Devices

Abandon Normal Devices commissioned me to conduct an experiment at FACT this week, based on my “Message equals Medium” photographic archive of text messages.  The result was a subtle intervention into the Btween09 “bells and whistles” new-tech / social-media / business conference.

The idea was, that the work should stimulate discussion around the ‘human-face’ of technology and act as a trailblazer for September’s inaugural ANDfestival in Liverpool.

Inadvertently  :-) the work was actually interpreted as a REAL WORLD model for a NEW TECH business – uh-oh!  (see vid below…)
