Organisers Projekktor have lined up 180 artists who will perform over the festival's three days and nights, making Contact Europe the visual arts freak's equivalent of Glastonbury.

There will also be a series of lectures, workshops and presentations, where visitors can learn the tricks of the trade from some of the best visual artists from across the globe.

And, if your retinas can take it, there's also the Motorola VJ-Jam, where first class VJs battle it out to prove themselves in front of the public and their peers.

Now in its third year, Contact Europe is definitely getting into its stride. Maybe in 2005 we can convince them to bring the whole shebang to the UK. Now wouldn't that be a site for sore eyes?
