eArts Festival, Shanghai

From mid-October until mid-November, the ultra-flash city of Shanghai is morphed into a playground for the world's cutting-edge digital artists. It is the biggest digital event on the worldwide arts calendar.

Under the banner 'Urbanized Landscape' this year's festival sees more than 150 creatives at the vanguard of the electronic age transform parks, avenues, rivers and malls into interactive hubs for curious citizens.

Philip Dodd, an eArts organiser said: 'What the new digital technology allows us to do is reconfigure our ideas of space and geography and to find new ways of imagining cities.' And if it's time to redefine our ideas about the future cities of the world, there's no place more evidently willing to embrace the new than Shanghai.
