In the first Collision we developed the format that we still use today: Thursday night focusing on film, projection and video art, Friday concentrating on music and sound, and Saturday evening presenting a celebration of art in its many forms, with bands and DJs appearing on the same bill as performance pieces, video projections and installations. The success and great response from the participants and the public in 2006 encouraged us to make Collision an annual event. A number of art collectives were invited to participate and were given a space or time slot to curate.
