The current exhibition at FACT is 'Silicon Remembers Carbon' from David Rokeby.

Gallery one, 'Seen' - four video screens showing the same shot of the Piazza San Marco in Venice in four different ways. The moving elements of the main shot are removed and layered into the three other screens - excellent.

Gallery one, 'n-Cha(n)t - a dark room with hanging video screens showing ears. Speak into the microphones and the ears appear to hear you and respond with some nonsense - couldn't work it out.

Gallery two, 'Giver of Names' - stick random objects (the usual colourful toys, etc) in front of a camera which then applies words to them - dull

Gallery two, 'Taken' - split screen showing footage of gallery visitors, sometimes the camera picks one person out and applies random word to them. Actions are looped out of synch on the other screen - fun.

Media lounge, 'Very nervous system' - one of those installations where you move around and set off sounds.
