is the latest installation of the Arch-OS system. The i-500 is a collaborative project between Paul Thomas, Chris Malcolm and Mike Phillips who have been commissioned to produce a sustainable, integrated, interactive art work from rich flows of research and general data generated through interaction in the new Curtin University Minerals and Chemistry Precinct buildings. The i-500 project team are working in collaboration with Woods Bagot Architects, as part of the architects project team, to develop artworks for the Curtin University Minerals and Chemistry Research and Education Building. The i-500 integrates the kernel provided by the Arch-OS system.

has been integrated into the fabric of the University Plymouth's Portland Square complex. Portland Square is home to a rich mix of leading edge academic subjects [such as: bio-medical, neural-science, robotics, digital communications, interactive systems, emergent media] that map the coordinates of new knowledge for the Twenty-First Century.

Portland Square is also the home of i-DAT [the Institute of Digital Art and Technology].
The Arch-OS control centre is located in the i-DAT SoftLab which also provides a home for the LiquidPress and the Arch-OS residency programme [see Project section].

The Arch-OS infrastructure was also commissioned for installation into the three new buildings of the Peninsula Medical School, distributed across the South West of England [Exeter, Plymouth (Derriford) and Truro. The PMS is a unique 21st Century model for the education of medics in a diverse rural peninsula. The intention was for Arch-OS to extend the social and learning communities of these individual and distributed spaces by providing a dynamic networked public space, and a vibrant environment for new public art. To date only the network infrastructure has been installed.
