scientific inquiry.

The event is a collaboration between Folly and .:thePooch:. a collective of
computer scientists based within the Computing Department of Lancaster
University and will be hosted at InfoLab21; the brand new North West Centre

sound installation that deals with viral communities and virtual worlds.

The conference will feature presentations by keynote speakers, individual

and technology collaborations responding to notions of robotics and 
viral activities.
