Liquid Fridge presents two workshops on mash-ups of art forms with each other and technology, with presenters Chris Csikszentmihalyi from MIT (USA), Ralph Borland, Charles Lee-Thorp, Blaise Janichon and Martin Sims.

Presentations cover counter-cultural technologies, socially activating projects at the intersection of art and design, next-generation VJing, graffiti and street art culture, and re-purposing electronics for audiovisual performance. The workshops also feature exercises on making graffiti stencils and LED throwies (electronic graffiti).
