Christoph Wachter & Mathias Jud
Wang Ba Manchester



Wang-Ba (Chinese for Internet café)

Wang-Ba is a multi layered Art installation in the Manchester Art Gallery in Chinatown. An Internet café becomes the proving ground for existing networking and for new interconnections: linguistic, visual, communicational, social and technical. Artists and visitors explore the Internet together, overcome censorship, or make the routing and filtering in the digital data-net audible by using it as a global experimental sound machine.

1 – 5 May
Thursday: 2pm – 5pm
Friday / Saturday / Sunday: 10am – 5pm
Monday: 10am – 4pm.
