  Aye, on Sunday.

  It was a bit smaller than I expected. Nothing yoiu haven't already seen via the innernets already, no doubt - but a nice hour or so's amusement if you've good company to go with.

  • thx, I'll check it out next time I'm around those parts– lukus_W

  I don't quite get the contents of the microsite - unless they change throughout the run... there are works mentioned in there that I didn't see down at the V&A, and there were works down there that I don't see on the site. Curious.

  • hmmm... a bit odd - maybe the exhibition is spread out over a larger area?– lukus_W

  I was going to go to this but a guy I work with said it was really basic. To get public interested rather than being of interest to coders. Which is fair enough I guess.

  I went at the weekend, was very disappointed.
  It felt like an exhibition from the late 90s. It was pretty small and the technology/programming was pretty basic. Lots of nice processing stuff but nothing really inspiring. A few hours on the web looking at some creative coders would be a better use of your time.

  I saw it back at the beginning of January, and thought it was interesting.
  You are right though, nothing you haven't seen before on the internet, and nothing really groundbreaking. Lots of names you would know, and stuff from the 90's. You may have missed some of the exhibits as there were some in other areas of the V&A.

  There was an interesting article in CR about is, that described it as an important exhibition for digital media, and for it to be exhibited in the V&A it is starting to be considered as important medium alongside traditional artwork.

  Creative Review Article about it: http://www.creativereview.co.uk/…

  Hopefully it will lead to further exhibitions in the same area.
