Visitors and residents of Lincoln may have noticed an invasion of futuristic, digital installations across the city this month.
The biennial Frequency festival of digital and art and culture is a project that explores the theme of displacement, bringing extraordinary art installations and events to the city until October 29.
Iconic and historic Lincoln locations have been filled with virtual and augmented reality exhibitions and performances – showcasing local talent.
Works reflect on the digital transformation of place, community and identity, as well as pressing global issues of migration, gentrification and inequality.
A project developed using scientific data from probes exploring environments in space, which engages with astrobiology and the origins of life coupled with a re-examination of its boundaries; these three sculptural pieces will be shown together for the first time at Frequency

Schools and universities in Lincolnshire recognise the potential benefits, but also the concerns, over the use of artificial intelligence.
The results of the government’s first ever Call for Evidence on Artificial Intelligence in Education’ report were published on Tuesday, November 28. It was open for 10 weeks and closed on August 23 this year, with 567 responses received during that time. Most respondents were “broadly optimistic” about the use of GenAI in education.
Almost two months on from Network Rail stating it had implemented “new cleaning regimes” for its railway bridge on Brayford Wharf East, the same concerns of graffiti, dirt and moss growth are continuing — and we are no clearer on how regularly the bridge is cleaned.
The bridge, which opened in 2019 in a bid to improve public safety on the railway crossing, is regularly used by many commuters and residents in Lincoln, but it has been the topic of a cleanliness discussion for many months now.
