NEoN Digital Arts Festival
8 - 14 November 2010

NEoN 10 is a seven-day international digital arts festival featuring moving image, performance, music and technology driven arts. The over arching curatorial theme this year is Character: going beyond the agent in a work of art; looking at the fictional; observing the character as a symbol, or within sound or written language. Through this focused dimension NEoN intends to explore the notion of collaboration between visual art, information communication, media production and gaming that will expand digital development and knowledge.
