Meshy is an interactive installation and the next step in the Metabiosis project, a collection of works about digital life and autonomous creation processes. The project is a collaboration between Aymeric Mansoux, Tom Schouten and Marloes de Valk.

A group of small devices, in which the digital and virtual obtain their own body and become tangible, make sounds and listen to each other. Euphoric noise and the soft whispers of a failed communication sound through the space in which they live. You can visit them, and listen in on, disturb or participate in their conversations.

The eight stand alone communicating machines the three artists have worked on will show computing in all its simplicity and visualize a computer network as a chat between machines . The eight machines are all built and programmed from scratch. On an extremely basic level they communicate with each other and the audience using only sound.

meshy is an experiment and a game for people who are curious about the possibilities of standalone processes, generative systems and artificial life.
