A frenetic, cooperative alt.ctrl installation powered by real-world statistics – in this case, 100 years of UK election data.
DATA/POINTS is playable data installation using real world statistics – in this case, 100 years of UK election information – to generate stages of frenetic, cooperative button mashing. This edition – ‘Political Party’ – is powered by the House of Commons Library report ‘UK Election Statistics: 1918-2021: A century of elections’ (2021), and contains information licensed under the Open Parliament Licence v3.0.
We Throw Switches are an independent production / curation studio, formed with the intention of putting fantastic, raucous, and beautiful digital things into public / social spaces.
