Motherboard is a celebration of the diversity and eclecticism of the culture that surrounds technology. Rather than squinting at technology through the lens of gizmos and gadgetry, Motherboard explores the ways it influences and affects music, art, design, film, gaming, sports, issues surrounding the environment, and everything else we find important.

So consider the floor open for group participation. It's simple: Get involved in an existing discussion, post your own related videos, write posts, comment, anything… you're now part of the Motherboard.

Zygote interactive balls

Emitting light via internal LED lights, this lightweight helium filled orb responds to human touch – changing colour as it is punched, tapped, slapped or squeezed. With the ability to communicate each touch back to a computer program, zygote can also be used to control and manipulate music and video in real time.

Conversely, zygote can be controlled dynamically via computer, making it a stand out piece of decorative light which requires no physical interaction to change colour.

This unique ball transforms otherwise ordinary events into multi-dimensional, interactive playgrounds that actively engage audience members in a holistic shared experience.
