Interactivity in art has been around longer than computers. New York’s X-Art Foundation has drawn on both: low-tech work appears in Blast4: Bioinformatica. A sensually curved foam sphere is packed with the work of 50 artists, on show until 28 October at the Javier Lopez Gallery, 41-42 Foley Street, London W1P 7LD. Or stay at home and interact with its MOO on Telnet at hero.village.virginia.edu:777. Type “connect guest” at the prompt, then “@go Javier Lopez Gallery”.
