Electric Fields returns for its third and biggest edition yet with over 40 artists, musicians and DJs and including partnerships with some of the regions most interesting art and music organizations. Like a snapshot of some of the most innovative creative work happening at the cross section of art and technology, Electric Fields presents artists from across the country and abroad in an exciting 10 day festival.

It is an important time for a festival like Electric Fields to bring to the foreground the amazing creative work with ones and zeros at their heart. From the new wave hip hop performers like Radio Radio and Thunderheist to the elegant installation works of Alexandre Castonguay and Sophie Bélair Clément, the festival covers as much of this very broad range of artistic ground during its ten days.

Electric Fields also marks a great step forward for one of the city's fastest growing arts organizations, Artengine. Constantly exploring the creative potential of technology, Artengine brings its programming to a new level with a unique festival that highlights the burgeoning electronic arts scene here in Canada. This addition to the festival landscape of Ottawa-Gatineau showcases important works from across the country previously unavailable to a local audience. We hope Electric Fields will bring the constantly growing music, visual and media arts community of the region to an exciting new level.
