BRB

BRB brings together three North-West-based artists and members of FACT’s Studio/Lab who explore how constant connectivity is reshaping our understanding of ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

BRB (meaning 'be right back') is internet slang used on early messaging platforms to indicate a temporary step away from the screen. Today, that separation feels harder to find. The boundaries between online and offline have collapsed as digital platforms have become more entwined with our personal and professional lives.

We are always connected, contactable and consuming new information.

Through film, animation, installation and playable works, Livi Wilmore, Mrs Luva-Luva and Ellie Hoskins explore the emotional and psychological impact of living in this way. Livi Wilmore transforms addictive digital platforms into a soft play centre for adult minds.
