Electrofringe is a presenting platform for experimental electronic and technology-based art in Australia. Electrofringe is a non-profit arts organisation and annual festival. Overview Electrofringe hosts exhibitions and events throughout the year, focussing on experimental electronic and tech-based art. By putting artists and their works in the same place at the same time, exchange and development of ideas is fostered. History Electrofringe was established in 1998 by Nick Ritarr and Sean Healy as part of the Newcastle Fringe Festival. From 2001 to 2011, the Electrofringe Festival was presented as a five-day annual festival in Newcastle, NSW as part of a group of festivals which come together under the banner of This is Not Art (TiNA). In 2012, Electrofringe took a break from TiNA to celebrate its 15th year with a change in focus and a new direction.
