The eleventh edition of the annual 5 Days Off festival will take place  
from March 2-6, 2011, showcasing the latest developments surrounding  
electronic music. 5 DAYS ON is the title of the arts programme of the  
festival. The culture of electronic music, DJs and VJs, remixing and  
clips is also the starting point for the exhibition CLOUD SOUNDS at  
NIMk, Paradiso and Melkweg, opening on 18 February.

In CLOUD SOUNDS, the participating artists use musical subjects and  
processes for their work. Cloud Sounds explores production methods in  
the visual arts in which the input from the public is essential.  
Social media and other Web 2.0 participatory procedures on the  
internet create new possibilities for the production of art. A number  
of artists make use of online possibilities such as crowdsourcing or  
mechanical turking, in which internet users cooperate on the  
realisation of the artwork. Through this, at various points, visitors,  
fans or online participants wittingly or unwittingly join in  
‘producing’ the end result. The admonition ‘don’t touch’ is replaced  
by ‘join in’.
