Arch-OS is an open source system that can be easily reconfigured to allow artists, engineers and scientists to create new work from the streams of data that feeds the Core system. New work is enabled through audio-visual manifestations of the dynamic data processed by the Core.

The Projects component of the Cybrid are a curated ongoing programme of cultural events, musical performances, installations and art exhibitions which take advantage of the unique digital opportunities presented by the building and its interactive multi-media resources.

These projects range from new commissioned works to prototypes for larger research projects.

These current projects either build on the particular features offered by Arch-OS (such as the ‘Screensaver’ which visualises the Core data engine) or the links between various Arch-OS systems (such as ‘Flock’ which combines the vision and audio tools).

Both the ‘Random Lift Button’ and ‘Reading Room’ are examples of tele-social navigation within technologically mediated architectures.

i-DAT supports a range of residencies and workshops based around the Arch-OS system.
Artists, Scientists and technologists can carry out research using the Arch-OS systems. By making the invisible and temporal aspects of a building tangible Arch-OS creates a rich and dynamic set of opportunities for research, educational and cultural activities, as well as providing a unique and innovative work environment.

Residencies are based around the i-DAT SoftLab and the Arch-OS control centre, however the networked nature of Arch-OS also allows researchers to collaborate online.

This list of names includes researchers, artists and practitioners with established international profiles. These researchers wwill be incorporated to i-DAT's curatorial programme over the coming year. Individual templates for each artist will be available soon.

Research and Development projects are a vital component of the Arch-OS systeem. These projects are either at proposal stage or aim to develop existing research / technologies.

These projects involve collaborations with international research networks (such as microbiological community with the ‘Living Building’ project) or collaborations with companies or service providers (such as Waterfall which is seeking sponsorship from South West Water).
