[Dancecult-l] Electronic music and arts festivals

[Andi Studer]

no idea bout Robodock, but I am very interested in the outcomes of this 
research.

to add to Kath's list:
http://www.aec.at/ ars electronica - probably one of the earlier 
festivals engaging with electronic culture. Maybe less of a music rather 
then arts festival.
Generally I see a problematic how to define the rules of selection, 
every single one has its own scope and context. As Graham mentioned, the 
choice of venues and the finance structure seems a defining element. Do 
these to factors have a major influence onto the programme of the 
festival? or rather indicate the nature of it?
back to Evan, are there trance festivals with these two factors (public 
funding, urban/arts venues) - just wondering...
