>The Dutch Electronic Art Festival is a bi-annual international and
>interdisciplinary event that deals with the inter-relations between art,
>technology and society. Under the title 'The Art of the Accident', DEAF98
>deals with concepts of time and space, and with their significance for the
>organisation of real and virtual environments. It does this from the
>perspective of the accident, of friction and rupture which are necessary
>elements of any technical reality. The festival inquires how complex social
>relations, individual actions and new forms of identity, take shape at the
>intersection between the technical and social reality.
