9th-19th April 2011, Daily 12-8pm.
Inspace, 1 Crichton Street, Edinburgh EH8 9AB

Ambient, emotional and invisible interfaces are sensing and changing the world. New generations of tiny computer systems, embedded into everyday objects, are able to sense and understand our activities and our feelings.

The everyday items we use and wear will soon incorporate intelligent technologies that can alter our environments according to our behaviours - with or without our knowledge.

Is this a vision of future Heaven or future Hell?
