A new interactive exhibition inspiring digital creativity is showing at Wolverhampton Art Gallery & Museum.

Microworld Wolves: A Digital Adventure is an immersive art space filled with digital creatures which respond to the audience in a variety of ways. The creatures have life cycles and strategies for survival and visitors can play with them to explore what they do, design their own and add them into the mix, or simply watch them in action.

The exhibition features a number of fictional creatures that adapt and change. These include Squidlets that swim about in search of pixel food; Hector & The Sunstars who move about in response to each other and the colour of the gallery and Aeroplankton who respond to sound, with different frequencies creating different shaped creatures. The longer the noise goes on, the longer they live and the larger they get.

There are also SeaPeople who require audiences to use smartphones and tablets to help them survive in a dynamic and chaotic world.

Designed and programmed by Genetic Moo, and produced by Lumen Art Projects, Microworld Wolves: A Digital Adventure opens at Wolverhampton Art Gallery on Saturday 22 July and continues to show until Monday 28 August.

General admission is £3 with under 3's admitted free of charge. For further information, and to book tickets, visit: wolverhamptonartgallery.org.uk
