The WIRED Lab is an Artist Run Initiative based in rural South West NSW. It was established in 2007 to ensure the legacy of The Wires, a unique and distinctly Australian invention that primarily exists in rural landscapes. The Wires are inherently interdisciplinary with foundations in sculpture, environmental/land art, sound composition, interactivity, behavioural constructs of old/new media, bio resonance, physics and complex systems sciences.
The Wires are unique instrument developed by Alan Lamb
