There will also be work from last year's festival being re-exhibited and many educational opportunites for everyone to learn about making digital art and performance, regardless of your background or expereince, which will be anounced soon.

A festival schedule will be available soon. We are aiming for all events at the festival to be captioned, audio described, and BSL interpeted where possible. More detail as to the access avaiable for each event will be released shortly.

We want this festival to show the full innovative strength of digital art and performance. We want to show off its accessibility, its sustainability, and its affordability for both creatives and audiences alike. We want people to learn how simple and rewarding making digital work can be, and to feel confident and inspired to make digital theatre and art of their own.
