Experimenta has a longstanding relationship with the Arts Centre, developed over 5 years. Our Biennial of Media Art provides the Arts Centre with a key event in their calendar, fulfilling their goal to present innovative and cutting edge alternative media and attract younger audiences. The next three years will see a consolidation of that partnership, with the Arts Centre investing further resources and facilities in the 2007 and 2009 Experimenta Biennials.
