Ghosts is a digital sculpture that plays with the notion of 'instant' communication, such as email, web chat and text messages.

 The projected sculpture is created from the messages visitors contribute through text on a keyboard or mobile phone messages.  These words, ideas and fragments of thought are preserved and given a longer-term existence, shaping a continuously evolving digital sculpture for others' future experience out of the messages you leave behind.

 The installation was recently exhibited at the Montreal Festival of New Cinema and has been created by Squidsoup, a group of interactive designers, artists and musicians whose aim is to expand current thought within interactive art and design.  Squidsoup's work has won awards and accolades within the new media industry, including a BAFTA nomination and entry into the British Design & Art Direction (D&AD) Awards Year Book.

 Ghosts prompts visitors to question and interact.  Where do all our text messages go?  Are throwaway ideas worth keeping?

 Visit Ghosts and let your message form the art-work and make a mark on another's experience.

Ghosts, presented by Herbert Media, was originally commissioned by Watershed Media Centre, Bristol and part funded by Clarks Digital Bursary.
