> AV Festival 06: LifeLike
> Thu 2 March 2006 – Sun 12 March 2006
> 
> The curatorial theme of AV Festival 06 was life sciences. Our perceptions of what life is, when it starts and ends and how it works have been transformed by science and technology. AV Festival 06 featured works that vividly show how technology can mimic, impersonate and simulate life. It also explored the way that biotechnology, genetic engineering and cloning have radically altered the way we imagine life. The Festival featured artists including: Anthony McCall, Ryoji Ikeda, Carsten Nicolai, Gina Czarnecki, Michael Nyman and Critical Art Ensemble. Visit archive.

> AV Festival 08: Broadcast
> Thu 28 February 2008 – Sat 8 March 2008
> 
> The curatorial theme of AV Festival 08 was broadcast. The UK began to switch off analogue television signals in 2007, paving the way for television to become entirely digital. At the same time the internet and mobile networks have created opportunities for us to broadcast ourselves in entirely new ways. The Festival debated the future of broadcasting and celebrated the history of transmission. It featured artists including: Harun Farocki, Chris Watson, Joyce Hinterding, Tetsuo Kogawa, Jean-Jacques Perrey, Sonia Boyce and Marko Peljhan. Visit archive.
