Mobile Crash is being on exhibition at ISEA 2010, the 16th International Symposium on Electronic Arts. This year it happens in Dortmund, Ruhr, in Germany

Fri 20 August–Sat 5 September 2010

More than thirty international artists and artist groups urge visitors to the exhibition into new perspectives on environmental issues, questions of identity and discussions about the ever-present social-media. What does a human hair sound like? Which sight will capture your imagination? Who sets the rules in the digital world?
