Join MadLab and FutureEverything for an informal demonstration by Sosolimited of a technical overview of their processes and join in a discussion and exchange.

Sosolimited is an art and design consultancy formed in 2003. The group specialises in interactive installation and audiovisual performance.

Formed by three MIT graduates with backgrounds in physics, computer science, architecture, and music, SoSoLimited operates at the intersection of experience and information. They continue to create unique works for clients and galleries around the world.

Sosolimited are in Manchester to create a live audiovisual remix of the General Election Debate at the People’s History Museum on Thursday evening, as a trailblazer event for the forthcoming FutureEverything festival 12-15 May 2010. Book a free ticket – but be quick, as numbers are limited!
