SUMMARY:FACT: BRB
DESCRIPTION: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.\n
 \nBRB (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 offlin
 e have collapsed as digital platforms have become more entwined with our p
 ersonal and professional lives. We are always connected\, contactable and 
 consuming new information.\n\nThrough film\, animation\, installation and 
 playable works\, Livi Wilmore\, Mrs Luva-Luva and Ellie Hoskins explore th
 e emotional and psychological impact of living in this way. Livi Wilmore t
 ransforms addictive digital platforms into a soft play centre for adult mi
 nds. Mrs Luva-Luva uses sculpture and film to question our agency and sens
 e of self in a world where personal data is a lucrative commodity. Ellie H
 oskins' towering rollercoaster captures the mania and mundanity of contemp
 orary existence. Across these three installations\, BRB presents the in
 ternet not simply as a technology but as an inhabitable environment. Toget
 her\, the artists ask what happens when attention becomes a commodity\, id
 entities become platforms\, and being "away" is no longer as simple as typ
 ing three letters.
