Radiator 2005 was themed around navigation and location. The navigability of the artform. The navigability of the city. The use of technology designed to aid navigation. Artists using technology like a paintbrush. Artists redefining digital horizons. Radiator commissioned five artists currently on the cusp of this cutting edge to create new work especially for the festival.
