Barbican Weekender: Natural Circuits

Throughout the weekend of the 3 and 4 November, the Barbican plays host to an exploration of the forces of nature and human creativity at the crossroads of the digital and natural worlds. Natural Circuits celebrates the influence of digital technology on the arts with a range of free activities for everyone.

Witness Tweet Poetry dialogues across the foyers as they evolve and inform circuits of language in Claire Collison’s workshops, or discover new names and influence new languages as Black Country Atelier's gorgeous lasercut forest grows inside the Barbican. Hack and embed recordable devices into T-shirts, so at the touch of fabric button they can talk. What would they tweet? And what instruments would we be in a human orchestra? Become an electrostatic force in danceroom Spectroscopy (dS), or discover hidden memories and trigger emotions with Hidden Fields out of body experience?

This Barbican Weekender, participants become the conduit of creativity between the real and digital worlds. Natural Circuits promises to be a weekend where anything can happen. And when it does, you can be sure there will be a tweet about it. So come to watch, listen, make, play, learn, speak and tweet.
