Eastern Bloc is an artist-run centre[1] based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, dedicated to digital art.[2] The centre was founded by Eliane Ellbogen and Sandor Poloskei in 2007.[3] Its programming includes meeting with artists (Salon : Data),[4] new media art laboratories,[4] residencies, and the annual Sight and Sound festival.[5]

Sight and Sound Festival

Sight and Sound is an international festival presenting digital art performances and installations as well as conferences on this subject.[6] In line with the centre mandate, it gives an important place to emerging artists.[7]

In 2015, the festival theme was HyperLocal. It included the work of Daniel Jolliffe.[8]

In 2014, the festival was centred around the theme of black market and clandestineness,[9] presenting artists such Nicolas Maigret, Steve Bates, Erin Sexton and Melissa F. Clarke.[10]

In 2012, the festival was concerned with symmetrical systems.[11]
