/Becoming Electric/ The Lower Turks Head, Shudehill, Manchester, UK Preview: 24th November 6-9pm Exhibition continues 25th November - 3rd December, 12-5pm (The Lower Turks Head is opposite Shudehill tram stop in the Northern Quarter) We live in the time of the electronic soapbox. We have ever more opportunities to have our say and be heard, or to project a sense of who we are, primarily as a result of a variety of social software and networking services. We use Blogs, Wikis, Instant Messagers, and a variety of tools such as MySpace, Flickr, Bebo, and YouTube to represent our electrical selves, and to mediate who we are and what we say. In our Web 2.0 world, the internet is no longer about information silos and corporate sales, but about sharing, communication and participation. Becoming Electric responds to this rapidly developing digital domain in our culture, and asks artists what it means to represent themselves through technology.
