Monika tells me this is a great festival for student media-arts work. It looks good to me and I think I saw some work from it last year.
It’s a good opportunity because media-art work can be expensive to build and often students are overshadowed by artists with grants who can afford some kind of techno utopian vision. So, crack out those Arduino boards and Processing and submit something.
