Featuring live dot matrix pop from TREE WAVE (Dallas, Texas); BODENSTANDIG 2000, Germany's masters of 8-bit rave cabaret; ALEXEI SHULGIN, the father of cyberpunk (Moscow); LOVID (New York) plus Obsolescence and Progress symposium, Tactile Media Lab knitting workshop and Fuzzy Logic computational textile exhibition - featuring OLIA LIALINA, SADIE PLANT, CAT MAZZA, CORY ARCANGEL and many more.
