Boulder gets all "clicky-clicky-future-future".

This week Boulder gets back to the future with the 2nd incarnation of the Communikey Festival of Electronic Arts.

Featuring over 35 new media artists and electronic musicians - either performing, offering up software workshops, or both.

Communikey events provide creative forums for the exploration of electronic music and new media arts in intimate environments, reflecting the global organism that is technology based fine-arts. The Festival hosts a 3-day contribution to these arts. Software workshops, installations, a film screening and panel discussion lay the ground-work for thought and discourse. Campus activities are followed by evening showcases, children's program, parade, picnic and finale.

Held on Earth Day weekend, the question is continually asked: "Are technology based fine arts sustainable?" We examine this issue and foster change by supporting sustainable resources in a digital world. A zero waste program, bio-fueled picnic, and pedestrian/cyclist transportation methods bind the electronic arts to sustainable lifestyle.

Dang-o! There are some pretty serious workshop tracks to boot: superDraw, MaxMSP, Abelton Live, and a host of others. There's even a workshops geared towoard kids!

All access festival passes can be had for $65, but you can also pay for individual workshops ranging from $10 - $20 each. Heck, there are even a few free ones.
