BLEED (Biennial Live Event in the Everyday Digital) is back.
Walk with a dancer, dance with a stranger or discover the strangeness of memories you’re yet to forge.
Whether you’re looking to meet up IRL or online (or both!), BLEED will explore how art can be consumed, experienced and translated online today.
2022 sees BLEED expand across the Asia Pacific, as we and Campbelltown Arts Centre, Sydney welcome Taipei Performing Arts Center and Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei.
The BLEED 2022 program is now live and ready for you to explore here.

Curatorial Statement
BLEED - a Biennial Live Event of the Everyday Digital - features contemporary arts commissions across multiple IRL and digital platforms. In 2022 we consider the potential and problems of borders. We explore the sites of intersection between and within humans, technology, media, history and nationhood, and our emotional, physical and digital geographies. Our artists’ works consider the delays, lags and glitches that make us - and the pervasive technologies that shape and choreograph our lives - more human. They employ a range of methods and ask bold questions to stretch and expand our sense of connection: the role of translation, or how we might critique and disrupt prescribed digital ways of being. How do questions of digital transformation, digital inclusion and a digital earth remind us of the urgency through which we must formulate a sustainable ecology?
Taken together, the commissioned artworks are an expansive consideration of care through crisis, and the myriad ways it is unfolding now - and will unfold into our futures.
BLEED also features a lively program of talks, podcasts, essays and reflections in BLEED Echo, exploring the problems and potential of our everyday digital existence.
