After a way to early but very pleasant flight (out of bed at 4:am) I arrived at Lisbon airport. 2 Ours later I’m walking around at the OFFF Festival in Oeiras and I have to say that this year’s location is very big! There are 3 rooms for presentations and performances.
A massive Hanger for the main stage, a room for presentations of new talents in the digital scene and especially for the fans of experimental electronic sounds there is a room called “loopita”. There is also a big merchandising and book market, a computer room, an energy spot for recharging your phone or laptop and a really big showplace where the main exhibition of the festival is situated. Naturally there is also a bar and something that should be the restaurant where you can get horrible spongy sandwiches and baguettes.

Again! Xantifee & MARKEE are going to the great OFFF- festival (7-8-9 may) Lisabon here I come! Every year, the festival features digital artists, web and print designers, motion graphic studios and avant-garde electronic musicians. But OFFF is more than an event about any of these disciplines. More than a design conference, a multimedia trade fair, or a digital animation festival. OFFF is an enthusiastic celebration of a new visual culture.
