*
From 10 through 29 April 2007, the eighth Dutch Electronic Art
Festival (DEAF) will take place in Rotterdam. This international
festival is organized every two years by V2_, Institute for the
Unstable Media. It will be the first event to take place in the fully
renovated Las Palmas cultural center in Rotterdam’s Kop van Zuid
area. This year’s theme is Interact or Die!
DEAF features an extensive program addressing art, technology,
science and society, with a large exhibition of interactive art as a
focal point. This year’s festival will devote special attention to
China. Visitors will also be able to enjoy concerts, performances,
seminars, workshops and a symposium. DEAF07 is the definitive event
at which the international ‘creative city’ network comes together.

25 Years of V2_ *
Organizer V2_, which has developed DEAF into an important
international festival for art and media technology, turns 25 years
old this year. One of the DEAF07 theme nights will accordingly be
devoted to V2_’s anniversary. A part of the festival program will
also focus on the network V2_ has built in China and Asia over the
past few years. Young artists and exhibition makers from China, along
with several key members of the Chinese art world, will play an
active role at DEAF.
*The Main Location: Las Palmas *
DEAF07’s main venue is the Las Palmas cultural center, a renovated
building which once housed workshops for the Holland America Line. It
is located in the Kop van Zuid area of Rotterdam. DEAF07 is the first
festival to take place in the renovated Las Palmas, which will
officially be opened on 18 April by a very distinguished guest.
DEAF’s other locations include the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen,
