RESPOND INTERCHANGE
Wednesday 2nd - Friday 4th April 2003, Cambridge, England
***************************************************************************
RESPOND presents a unique opportunity to explore and learn about advancements in the
exciting interlock between virtual and physical space. The RESPOND INTERCHANGE brings
together an excellent group of artists and thinkers from the international and
national scene, all experimenting on the dissolving border between virtual and
physical worlds, pushing to merge and blur our bodily experiences of digital
technologies.
This is the final of 4 InterChange events in the Future Physical programme. The
previous three have had immediate input into strategies and thinking worldwide on arts
and technology. Visit www.futurephysical.org <http://www.futurephysical.org> for
