Microworld at The Word

Microworld is the new touring exhibition featuring eight different digital creatures which encourages interaction, experimentation and play.

Move around the space and play with the creatures to find out more about what they do and how you can interact with them, whether it is through movement or sound, or you can simply watch them in action.
