BLEED (Biennial Live Event in the Everyday Digital) interrogates the relationship between the digital and the live.

Developing new contemporary art practices that are both enabled by and critical of the digital public sphere, BLEED’s unique model allows artists and audiences to create and experience cutting-edge art, culture and ideas. Across diverse mediums, time zones and borders, BLEED probes the extent to which digital technology can deepen our understanding of one another.

In 2024, BLEED expands the conversation with a consortium of national partners including Campbelltown Arts Centre (NSW) and Arts House (VIC) and PICA – Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts (WA) and features artists across this continent and beyond.

From URL to IRL and back again, BLEED, and the artworks and Echo public programs presented as part of it, greet audiences where they already reside: in their communities, hyper-connected and virtually networked.
