NOTCH艺术节抓取北欧前沿视听文化场景与本土新兴个体作无级耦合，激发观众通过“未来当代化”的体验重新思考自身在当下和近未来的存在价值，进行“去未来化”的探索与实践。继NOTCH艺术节过去2年在京沪穗三地获得热烈反响后，NOTCH08将于2008年十一国庆黄金周在京沪穗三城再度举行，并增设香港站。

    NOTCH08's theme this year is "Comma Coma", i.e. non-stop coma, the overwhelming state we are facing in a year of natural disasters, stock market crisis and price increases of oil and food. How will we cope with it? Many people have no idea. NOTCH08 aims to present the ideality toward the future via participating Nordic and local artists' artistic expression that we should start reducing our consumption, not using more resources to further burden the fragile earth. It also reflects NOTCH's cultural meaning: notch, or groove, was how early recordings were made. Every single notch has its social value for being.
