Lancaster's first festival of digitali culture - f.city - has finished on a high. 80 people came to Dalton Square on Saturday to watch members of the public perform dance steps they had learned via podcasts.

The dance extravaganza was in collaboration with Ludus Dance, and saw the dancers being guided in a "high-kicking treasure hunt" around the city, guided by live text updates on their mobile phones!

 

f.city has been three weeks of exhibitions, events and activities that brought together some of the very best technology-driven creative practice to the city. Special thanks to Fast-uk for co-presenting the anchor exhibition ‘Perimeters, Boundaries and Borders’. The full festival programme spanned the genres of media arts, music, video, performance and participation and links with the community, education and commercial sectors.
