Now in its seventh year, the Dublin Electronic Arts Festival is every year further cementing its reputation as one of the most forward-thinking events of its kind in Ireland's cultural calendar. Certainly DEAF's artistic remit has widened considerably since its inception, moving beyond the confines of its roots in club culture. Nonetheless, the festival has succeeded in remaining true to its core ethos: to focus on the experimental, and to promote a genuine inclusiveness in its approach to showcasing the electronic
arts to new audiences in Ireland.
