> OVERVIEW OF AV FESTIVAL 08
>
> AV Festival 08 will look at the way that new technologies are shifting our
> perceptions of television and radio. In October 2007, the BBC began to switch
> off analogue television signals, paving the way for television to become
> entirely digital. At the same time that this momentous change in our
> experience of broadcast occurs, the internet and mobile networks are creating
> opportunities for us to 'broadcast ourselves' in entirely new ways. As the
> landscape of broadcasting changes irrevocably, AV Festival 08 will be a
> catalyst for debate about the future of broadcasting, an event to celebrate a
> century of on-air and online transmission, and a forum to explore artists'
> engagement with broadcasting. It will feature large-scale concerts,
> performances and exhibitions at major culture venues in the region's four
> cities, outdoor events, a major symposium, seminars, hands-on workshops and
> club events.
