Vancouver, BC, Canada - The New Forms Festival (NFF) is an international
festival of contemporary media arts and technologies, featuring an
Exhibition, a Performance/ Events Series, and a Conference consisting of
keynote speakers, panel presentations, and interactive workshops.
Showcasing emerging new media artists from across Canada and around the
world, New Forms provides a unique opportunity for audiences and

in and around Vancouver, the Festival will feature more than fifty
performances and presentations by North American and international guest
speakers, musicians, installation and net artists, performance and video
