Microworld Arcadia was a group art show organised by Genetic Moo at the Arcadecardiff gallery in the Queens Arcade shopping mall for two weeks in May 2013. The show consisted of interactive and generative artworks by different artists. The art works responded to the audience, the gallery and importantly to each other, so the space was constantly changing in pixels, sound, colour and motion. Each day different works were brought together in different combinations.
Day 4 was the private view night with some live performances and you can see in some of these photos people setting up for the evening. There were also various robots by Paul Granjon and Sean Olsen meeting and greeting people on the night. Later was live music by Julia Schauerman who played saxophone in duet with the digital Cockatoo program and an interactive gestural performance by Alexandros Kontogeorgopoulos which used the natural resonances and feedbacks of the room to construct a musical performance. Drinks for the night were provided by Penlon Cottage Brewery which was run by Stefan Samociuk one of the artists.
Microworld Arcadia was a big success breaking attendance records for the gallery and we plan to take the show on tour in the future, working with different sets of local artists each time to create interactive digital Microworlds around the UK and beyond.
