FACT and Manchester Metropolitan University’s School of Digital Arts (SODA) are delighted to announce Double Agents: Play and Performance in Digital Worlds, a new series of monthly evening seminars exploring the social, political and cultural impacts of working with advanced digital technologies.
Running from January to April 2026, the series brings together artists, curators and researchers from across FACT and SODA’s programmes, creating a space for critical exchange between Liverpool and Manchester and strengthening connections between two of the UK’s leading centres for digital art and research. Hosted at SODA, the seminars reflect a shared commitment to collaboration, knowledge exchange, and supporting both emerging and established practices across the North West.
