The Fifth Annual Bent Festival celebrates DIY electronics and circuit bending, the short-circuiting of battery-powered children’s toys to create new musical instruments. Artists from around the globe perform music with their homemade or circuit bent instruments, teach workshops and create remarkable interactive art installations.
Over the last few decades a worldwide subculture has sprung up around circuit bending. For three days the Festival brings together artists of all ages and showcases state of the art DIY electronics as well as circuit bending culture.
