Inspite of some problems with sound and heat, OFFF 2009 was worth visiting. As a student, I felt very connected with the theme of these year - This isn’t flying. This is falling with style. Fail gracefully. The intro sounded very intriguing as well: "We fail. We all do, and our failures often say more about us than our successes do. But we hide failure, we are ashamed of it and we often just deny it altogether. For almost a decade the Offf festival have featured successful digital creators in design and experimental sound and have celebrated the cutting edge of digital aesthetics. This year, we shed some light on the dark side of success and discover the dynamics and aesthetics of failure."
