The ninth edition of the Netmage festival 
(Bologna, 22-24 January 2009) will present, in 
the historical castle of Palazzo Re Enzo, an 
unpredictable scenario of contemporary 
audiovisual research featuring live media, live 
cinema, concerts, performances, sound and visual 
installations.

Netmage festival, focusing on multi-media design, 
electronic arts and cutting-edge style, works as 
a meeting point for video-makers, multi-media and 
visual artists, musicians and performers from 
Europe, South and North America and Asia. In its 
ongoing investigation, Netmage presents some of 
the latest trends in live media. Together with 
research on essential aspects of perception and 
the intersection of visual and acoustic 
phenomena, the festival introduces a very wide 
range of approaches.
