Cyberzone

The Cyberzone exhibition was at Questacon from 10 February to 22 July 2001.

The exhibition has been designed and developed by Scienceworks, The Science Museum, Museum of Victoria. It is a hands-on exhibition on the nature of the digital world and the dramatic effect it is having on our society. In essence, it sets out to explain the nuts and bolts of digital technology.

Visitors are made part of the exhibition as their names, voices and faces become input for the digital process. They can explore multimedia production, robotics, virtual reality and artificial intelligence, and develop a real appreciation of the power behind the simple ones and zeros of binary code.

The exhibition provides a forum to highlight the excitement and anxiety surrounding multimedia technologies. It focuses on how information is converted into digital data, the power of the digital process to transform all facets of our society and the major concerns of the Information Age such as privacy, security and censorship.
