Geek Pop
Geek Pop is a free online music festival featuring artists inspired by science.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://bscia-bsba.org.uk/science-orgs/geek-pop/ )〕 It was established in 2008 and since 2009 has coincided with National Science and Engineering Week in the UK. In the first festival, hosted by the website Null Hypothesis: The Journal of Unlikely Science attendees were only able to download a podcast featuring songs about science as a radio-style festival report.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Null Hypothesis )〕 From 2009, the festival moved to its own website where listeners could listen to a variety of free music and download the radio-style report podcasts, called the "highlights podcast". The Geek Pop website also produces a monthly podcast〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Geek Pop )〕 and has hosted live events.
==Online festival==
Geek Pop is an online festival, an idea that has been in existence since at least the Exposure Festival, 2003.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=trance.nu )〕 Online festivals have a set launch time, but can only be accessed online, meaning they do not happen in a fixed location. Geek Pop festivals remain available online after their launch date, meaning they are always accessible.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Geek Pop )〕
As an online festival does not have a real location, they are similar to festivals only in that they have a set time and that they celebrate a particular aspect of a community, albeit an online community. The emergence of social media has enabled online festivals to allow people to communicate to each other during the online festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher=Mashable.com )〕 At Geek Pop festivals, this communication is primarily achieved through an online "bar", which uses Twitter on the website to show tweets about Geek Pop.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 publisher= We Love Festivals )〕
There are environmental benefits to having an online festival as opposed to, or in conjunction with, a real festival.〔Geek Pop, Eco-benefits of virtual festivals, http://www.geekpop.co.uk〕 Half of the acts playing in 2008 were from overseas, but no carbon was used to "bring" them to a primarily UK audience. There is no litter or waste generated by the festival and the majority of the marketing is done online, reducing the amount of paper needed.
