Datarama is a democratic data-sharing event: a show-and-tell session for all people who like to make interesting things with technology.

It is hosted by Polytechnic, an independent artist-led organisation with an emphasis on hands-on, open and distributed approaches to working with art & technology.

This special AV Festival version of Datarama coincides with Newcastle ScienceFest and the Maker Faire, providing an opportunity for like-minded people to meet and share music, sound, design, animation, gadgets, apps, patches and more.

Produced by Polytechnic.

This event is part of the AV FESTIVAL (5-14 March 2010)

The AV Festival is the biennial international Festival of electronic arts, taking place from 5-14 March 2010.

This year the curatorial theme is energy: a universal force that connects, transforms and renews life. Exploring energy from scientific, technological, environmental and spiritual perspectives we present work that resonates across the Festival centres in NewcastleGateshead, Middlesbrough, Sunderland, and beyond.
