Established in 1996, Microwave is a new media arts organization. Each year, Microwave organizes the Microwave International New Media Arts Festival, which is one of the pioneering festivals of its kind both in Asia and internationally. Under a selected theme, international artists are invited to the festival for a series of programmes, including exhibitions, conference, screening, workshops and performance. In 2008, Microwave also organized the grand outdoor media arts show A-GLOW-GLOW at the Avenue of Stars. Throughout the 14 years, Microwave has engaged active participation from renowned artists, international professionals and all walks of life. Apart from the annual festival, Microwave also organizes media arts related events, aiming to bring cutting-edge technology from around the world in the form of media art to Hong Kong.
