What’s with the squid?
The squid, InterAccess's aged and beloved mascot, dives deep into nostalgia, back to the days when technology was more tactile and tentacled. The friendly and intelligent cephalopod represents decades of inked emails, adaptability, and swimming through the cyber waves. During events, artists and viewers drop cash and coins into the squid’s tank, “feeding” it to support future programming.
