Cybersonica with Openlab Workshops

Cybersonica with Openlab Workshops and Manchester Art Gallery present: Make It Yourself

Make It Yourself is an exhibition of inventive Arduino and DIY electronic-circuitry projects to accompany the major solo exhibition Recordersby Rafael Lozano-Hemmer - see http://bit.ly/9WLZCJ for more information - at Manchester Art Gallery between 18th September 2010 to 30th January 2011.
A rapidly expanding community of people worldwide is taking advantage of new, cheaper technology and a growing pool of shared knowledge to make things for themselves – useful things, clever things, silly things, unique things. Make It Yourself is a ‘small but perfectly formed’ show of a handpicked half-dozen of these hand-made devices.
Yet Make It Yourself is a dynamic exhibition - a practical demonstration of the ongoing and unpredictably enjoyable evolution of communally shared ideas and projects. ‘Re-making’ sessions by artists and workshops over the course of the exhibition create a series of new generation devices and a ‘Call for Modification’ invites adaptations of their software and novel modifications of their hardware.
