MULTIPLACE 2 is the second year of the alternative festival for new media art and culture. 
In 2002 several cultural organizations put together the program of the festival's  first issue, realising thus the main idea of notable but low budget presentation of new media in Slovakia.

During the event various projects from the field of electronic music and Vjing, virtual reality, robotics, sound art, digital film and video, from Slovakia and abroad, were presented by means of concerts, presentations, exhibitions, parties etc. 

The program of the first issue was held in three different cities in the various spaces that have the quality of attracting a wide public (clubs, galleries, public spaces). Multiplace 2 reached out for other cities and spaces and it presents new media artists and new media works from Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Germany, USA, Estonia.
