Turning FACT Inside Out @ FACT, Liverpool, until 15 Sep

Liverpool's Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) reached double figures this year and is marking its tenth birthday with – true to form – an artists’ takeover that explores artistic possibilities in a post-digital era. Now with an extended run until 15 Sep, Turning FACT Inside Out presents new work, or work that's never been exhibited in the UK, from six emerging and established artists. The pieces sprawl through the building, and some do a pretty good job of actually, well, turning FACT inside out.

Invisible ARtaffects by international collective Manifest.AR – who seek to transcend the boundaries between reality and the virtual – is a case in point. Commissioned especially for the exhibition, all six of its contained projects represent augmented reality as an art form, and invite visitors to engage with the creative opportunities offered by technology. FACT Sky Museum, by Will Pappenheimer and Zachary Brady, is a virtual skywriting app whereby you can create drawings and messages in airplane trails, extending the exhibition into the space above the building; while the charming and insightful Things We Have Lost project, conceived by John Craig Freeman and Scott Kildall, recorded people on the city’s streets revealing things they had misplaced (everything from youth to dignity, family members to keys). Via an app, these were then created as virtual objects and placed at the GPS coordinates of the location where the recordings were made.

Nina Edge’s Ten Intentions is a fascinating communications experiment consisting of a robot that turns speech into writing, and a tent that offers visitors a quiet place to discuss their hopes or expectations for the future – with reference to any of the ten weighty themes, which include justice, power, growth, and loss. Brilliantly, the work uses the voice recognition technology Siri, which often mishears, leading to misunderstandings. Ten Intentions is a provocative work, showing that while technology is continually advancing, relying too heavily on gadgets to interact with one another can end up having a negative impact on communication.

Elsewhere, Spain's Uncoded Collective offer you the opportunity to exercise your quadriceps with their TransEurope Slow virtual bike ride, via which you can explore the streets of Liverpool, Rotterdam and Madrid – while Steve Lambert’s Capitalism Works For Me! (True/False), a curiosity that wouldn't look out of place at a carnival, encourages visitors to express their distaste or support for capitalism, and instantly displays the results. As with the other pieces in the show, the idea behind the latter's inclusion is to facilitate debate and reiterate FACT’s role as a forum for contentious topics. [Frances Barrett]
