As we near the end of 2005 it’s time to take stock of what’s going on. Recent developments in arts, politics and technology challenge us to re-evaluate the culture we are part of.

This year Electrofringe invites you to Engage, Exchange and Evolve

ENGAGE - This year we will present well over 80 artists, technologists, and commentators from a broad spectrum of practices encompassing screen, sound, social networking, interactive media, performance, sculpture and installation. We provide a forum where you can talk, make, break and play.

EXCHANGE - The exchange of ideas and skills is what Electrofringe is all about. The informal panels, workshops, masterclasses and presentations encourage lively discussions to broaden horizons. We have devised a program to showcase work and talk about intriguing concepts, techniques and practices that explore the future of new media arts.

EVOLVE - So ….what next? Now in its eighth year Electrofringe is a key forum to facilitate this discussion.
