Cybersonica is London’s annual festival of electronic music, sonic art and audiovisual fusion.

Now in its fifth year, it is a leading international event for anyone interested in the theory and practice of how new technologies are shaping and changing the way musicians, DJs, VJs, digital artists, audiovisualisers and creative software developers make and present their work. The festival brings together a vibrant community of sonic and audiovisual innovation, nurtures new talent and showcases the freshest and latest work in the field.

Gathered through invitation, commission and an open call for existing artworks, Cybersonica 06 will bring challenging new work to an international audience. The festival aims to showcase both live audiovisual performance and sonic art works that contain the most exciting contemporary approaches to creative interactivity - moving beyond the screen, keyboard and mouse and responding to physical input, proximity, sound, kinetics, elapsed time and the surrounding environment.

Cybersonica 06 is presented in association with the Science Museum’s Dana Centre and in partnership with the Encompass Festival - navigating the business and art of cutting edge music at Shoreditch Town Hall, EC1 and five East London club and performance venues from 11-13th May 2006 and b.TWEEN 06 - the Festival of Future Entertainment at the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television in Bradford from 24-26 May 2006.

Cybersonica is organised by Cybersalon, currently artists in residence at the Science Museum’s Dana Centre.
