Date : Saturday 4 and Sunday 5 July

An alternate, fantasy biological life form lives out its existence on a virtual planet. But this is no Sunday picnic, for the planet-habitat is extremely volatile as rapidly changing conditions, outside the life form’s control, causes havoc by the minute. What is the cause of these cataclysmic upheavals? You are. By entering into a large box of sand, onto which the strange and wonderful world of the virtual creatures is projected, you affect the fortunes of this life-form’s Evolution.


Lorna Green interviews Dew Harrison from The Shift Life project. 4 July 2009.

Highlights & News

The Shift-Time Blogging Project

Alongside the main Shift-Time Festival we're running a project to get Shrewsbury and the surrounding area blogging. We want people to use the festival to experiment with all sorts of "social media" services, including weblogs, photo and video sharing sites. The end result, we hope, is to give Shrewsbury the tools to talk to itself about things that matter, whatever they may be.
