Welcome to Frequency, an international festival of digital creativity, hosted biennially in the historic city of Lincoln. Since it’s inception in 2011, Frequency has become renowned for city-wide digital takeovers in non-traditional spaces, including exhibitions of site-specific work, live performances, world-premieres, and interactive experiences open to all.
During the past 10 years Frequency has hosted over 450 local, national and international artists, exhibiting their work to over 75,000 visitors. Frequency has consistently presented an imaginative fusion of art, heritage, media and culture as the city’s residents and its visitors discover a world of digital, electronic and hybrid art. The festival has always been committed to filling familiar places with surprising delights – bringing entertaining, inspiring arts experiences to shopping precincts and sheds, as well as Lincoln’s many venues, museums and galleries.
Frequency Festival is produced by Threshold Studios, in partnership with the University of Lincoln and supported using public funding by Arts Council England. The event is driven by a dynamic city wide collaboration of public sector organisations, along with support from the business community.
“We are now living in a digital world which is both exciting and challenging. Frequency is an opportunity for people to explore, experience and debate digital culture and creativity.” – Uzma Johal MBE, Co-Director of Frequency Festival
