Computer Petting Zoo
For four weeks in August 2017, I am artist-in-residence at the Orchard Square shopping centre, right in the middle of Sheffield. I am displaying three virtual pets on recycled computers. The pets will start out simple, and become gradually more complex, as I change them over time to mimic the words and attitudes of their visitors.

Events
Virtual pets Game jam, 19th August
A game jam is an event at which a group of people come together to quickly and roughly make experimental videogames. The games that come out of jams tend to be glitchy and strange-looking, and this is part of their charm. Come and join the jam to make your own virtual pet.
Unconference, 26th August
An unconference is like a conference, but much more informal. Anybody can come and give a talk – it can be planned or improvised, and often people didn’t know they were going to speak until the mood suddenly takes them. Come to learn in a creative, kind, collaborative space.
