Digital Fringe is a web based digital art festival that links to public screens across Melbourne, regional Victoria, Australia and the world
Digital Fringe provides artists with access to an extensive network of hundreds of public screens and non-traditional audiences through-out Australia and the world. We provide these screens with a curated playlist that is a diverse compilation of visual works of animation, abstract, video art, short film, motion graphics, photography and other stills. It is the cream of the crop of 1000’s of festival submissions
In keeping with the Fringe Festival charter, Digital Fringe is open access and accessible to emerging and established artists, particularly those working in screen based and new media. Submissions are received from all around the world; from professional artists to bedroom doodlers and everybody in between
Screening venues range from busy bars and cafes, bustling shopping centres, walls of TV’s in electrical stores, State and regional libraries, art galleries, and cultural institutions, suburban shop fronts and on massive urban screens in public plazas like Federation Square
All submissions also play on the Digital Fringe website
Digital Fringe was first run in 2006 and has been put together with generous support from Film Victoria, Melbourne Fringe festival and other sponsors. It runs on the cultural capital of Horse Bazaar and the contributions of numerous people and artists. Thanks to all those that have helped, those who have submitted or screened works, and audiences who have enjoyed them
