London Group members Genetic Moo have just released a FREE PDF of their book ‘Interactive Art with Genetic Moo’.
“We make a small living as interactive artists. There are just two of us – we call ourselves Genetic Moo. We don’t sell anything – how can you sell interaction? We don’t teach professionally, but we have taught lots of free workshops in the past. So how have we survived? This book will explain how we started, how we kept going, how we made connections and scaled up our practice. You can see it as a self-help book for interactive artists. We will discuss what we think interactive art is for, and why it is the best. You will discover how complex it is, but also how rewarding.
Our book unfolds as a chain of essays moving from the outside in: from the early days of interactive art, to coming up with ideas, making, producing, maintaining, and finally experiencing this art form today. Each chapter focuses on a stage in the process, written by experts who’ve played key roles along the way. Our progress would not have been possible without their contributions.”
