Frequency Festival 2019
24-27 October 2019, Lincoln
For its fifth edition, Frequency International Festival of Digital Culture returned to Lincoln, 24-27 October 2019, with a jam-packed festival programme that challenged perceptions, captured imaginations and inspired change.
In 2019 we invited our festival audiences to immersive themselves in VR experiences and thought-provoking digital projections; play with interactive street furniture, family-friendly workshops and arcade games that inspire kindness; and get involved in debates about data, the environment and the changing climate we live in.
Visit our 2019 Programme to see the wonderful array of digital delights and artists that we brought to Lincoln for Frequency 2019.
The Frequency Festival biennial has become a key highlight in Lincoln’s cultural calendar; renowned for city-wide digital takeovers in non-traditional spaces such as Lincoln Cathedral, the city’s underground Roman Posterngate, cafés, churches, shopping centres and outdoor spaces as well as key city venues and gallery spaces.
The 2019 festival theme was Disruption = Cultural Reinvention. Our relationship with the digital realm has changed significantly since the festivals inception 8 years ago. With technology advancing at such a rapid pace, innovative ideas continue to emerge; disrupting the status quo. Whether it be the radical changes to our local high street, the impact of our mobile phones and online persona on our personal relationships or how we form a view on the world around us, digital has become intrinsic to everything we do. And having access to the internet anytime and anyplace, from the device in our pocket, makes cultural disruptors of us all.
To reflect the ever-changing city and the fast-growing digital sector, we evolved a new format for the 2019 festival. The programme was across four jam-packed days, including events to harness the collective voices of the creative industries, spark debate and shape the future of digital culture.
