Futuresonic 2009 and the Social Technologies Summit will take place 13-16
May 2009, featuring world premieres of astonishing artworks, an explosive
city-wide music programme, and visionary thinkers from around the world. The
festival has four strands – Art, Music, Ideas and EVNTS – and occupies the
orbits of art, performance, music, design and digital culture. Now in its 14th
year, Futuresonic is the UK’s leading festival for digital culture, and this
year was nominated for the prestigious Lever Arts Prize. An urban festival
experience, it is anticipated that over 50,000 festival visitors will engage
with 300 artists and 100 events across 30 venues.
