Meshy is an interactive installation and the next step in the Metabiosis project, a collection of works about digital life and autonomous creation processes. The project is a collaboration between Aymeric Mansoux, Tom Schouten and Marloes de Valk.

A group of small devices, in which the digital and virtual obtain their own body and become tangible, make sounds and listen to each other. Euphoric noise and the soft whispers of a failed communication sound through the space in which they live. You can visit them, and listen in on, disturb or participate in their conversations.

‘meshy’ is an experiment and a game for people who are curious about the possibilities of standalone processes, generative systems and artificial life. The project will be developed during a 3 month Artist in Residence at the Waag Society in Amsterdam, from the 1st of October until the 21st of December 2007.

Meshy is made possible with support from the Waag Society and the Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst
