Lincoln's streets transformed into digital wonderland for Frequency Festival

Lincoln's streets will be transformed by "immersive digital art" as artists take over the city.

Frequency Festival returns to the city with a programme of exhibitions, installations, performances and events from international and UK artists.

Highlights include a sound installation that explores the human brain and virtual reality swings inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's flying machines.

The festival runs from 26 to 29 October with most events free of charge.

Frequency Festival has been held biennially in Lincoln since 2011.

Organisers said it gave visitors a chance to "find surprising delights in familiar places and to explore new ideas in unexpected ways".

"From shopping precincts to sheds, Lincoln Cathedral to the kiosk, we've taken digital art to the people", they said.

The event is produced by Threshold Studios, in partnership with the University of Lincoln and supported using public funding by Arts Council England.

Uzma Johal MBE, co-director of Frequency Festival, said: "We are now living in a digital world which is both exciting and challenging.

"Frequency is an opportunity for people to explore, experience and debate digital culture and creativity.
