*Tweak is two! *Currently in its second edition, Tweak is an interactive art
and live electronic music festival taking place in *Limerick City between

the possibilities opened up by multimedia and electronic technologies to
create immersive experiences bring physicality and play to the digital
medium.

define the field.
