e-2 is one of the UK's leading digital arts organisations, developing innovative projects within new media.

Since being founded in 1997, e-2 has developed a series of powerful new works, seeking to develop the potential of the Internet and other digital media as significant sites for contemporary art and culture.

e-2 has built up an impressive track record for collaborating with artists to produce ambitious and extraordinary works for the internet. Outstanding artists are commissioned to explore the conceptual space of the internet and create new works which challenge accepted views of art and its contexts. By developing the digital arena, e-2 promotes a direct experience between audience and artwork, taking art beyond its traditional frameworks and boundaries.

Initially through the Container-ship project e-2 has built an impressive track record of works - from Janice Kerbel's irreverent and intelligent take on 'time share' rip-offs to Brighid Lowe's subtle and philosophical look at infinity beyond the computer screen. Brighid Lowe won a Paul Hamlyn Award in 1998 due in part to her piece Now Here / Nowhere.

Following the success of Container-ship, e-2 launched a new series of commissions in April 2000 with Tomoko Takahashi's Word Perhect. Word Perhect was nominated for the Turner Prize 2000 - the first digital work to be recognised by such a prestigious award in the UK.
