Communikey works with an extended community of digital artists, electronic
musicians and industry specialists that live and work in all parts of the
world. Promoting digital arts in Colorado has developed a local community
that craves exposure to the global organism that is new electronic music and
art. Communikey creates a direct line from the Colorado community to a
flourishing global industry. Bringing leaders of new technology and arts to
Boulder fosters support and momentum that was not previously possible.

Held on Earth Day weekend, Communikey Festival provides tools for renewable
resources in a digital world. Implementing a Zero Waste program and
encouraging pedestrian and cyclist modes of transportation, alongside our
Green Expo at the Boulder Theater, and panel discussion dealing with
sustainable practice in digital culture, Communikey Festival intends to
marry electronic arts with sustainable lifestyle.

Communikey Festival presents a variety of new media installations; including
ASKAA from internationally renown act Skoltz_Kolgen (

Lab<www.markomanriquez.com/>presents CUBO, an interactive
sound sculpture comprised of reclaimed materials and exploring notions of
