BEAP is now also a mechanism to facilitate the creation and production of electronic art works.
The Biennale of Electronic Arts Perth intends to become Australia's peak organization promoting and showcasing contemporary experimental art practice of an International calibre. BEAP is committed to fostering work leading tocritical debate within these fields and will develop robust advocacy strategies.
BEAP 2004 will investigate notions of 'Difference', which focuses upon:
1. Sonic-Differences; Re-sounding the World. Exploring sound art
