From the Article:

Working with the over-65s, technology and digital art – as I have for the past seven years – has proved to me that none of the clichés about older people are true. Knitting is a rare past-time unless it serves a purpose. There is no slowing down or giving up among this generation. Older people are web-streaming pioneers, digital story-tellers and filmmakers; spoon-players, VJs and social campaigners.

This autumn a new exhibition at Liverpool’s Foundation for Art and Creative Technology (FACT) is taking a celebratory look at the life and times of one of the organisation’s best-loved projects: the pioneering community arts programme, Tenantspin.

The project started life as part of a network, Superchannels, webstreaming platforms for community conversations developed by the Danish artist collective Superflex in the late 1990s.
