Planet Angel - Live an Ordinary Life in an Extraordinary Way

This has to be one of the coolest things ever, and guess what... you can try it an the next Party!

We’re very pleased to welcome Jenn, Nick, Alice and Robin to the August Party; they’re travelling all the way from Leeds to setup their fascinating iPoi system. They’ve been developing it for a couple of years and we initially hoped to feature iPoi last year but they weren’t happy until it was perfect...

So here it is! From its ancient Maori beginnings Jenn and Co have developed Poi to become a fully interactive wireless system. iPoi is created by embedding tiny computers in tennis balls and socks, and swinging them wildly around your body, via the wonder of acceleration, the hidden force that is in our every movement... Via a wireless link and a PC, the movement of the iPoi generates unique synchronised visuals that will be projected onto the walls.

As long as the weather holds out (!!) iPoi will be in the garden all night and is available for everyone to try.
