Cybernetic Serendipity

• Exhibits in the show are either produced with a
  cybernetic device (computer) or are cybernetic
  devices in themselves. They react to something in
  the environment, either human or machine, and in
  response produce either sound, light or movement
  Horace Walpole used the term serendipity to
  describe the faculty of making happy chance
  discoveries. Through the use of cybernetic
  devices to make graphics, film and poems, as well
  as other randomising machines which interact with
  the spectator, many happy discoveries were made.
  Hence the title of this show.
