>> Musion is the company behind the Madonna and Gorillaz holographic  
>> performances, Lewis Hamilton's and David Beckham's hologram and  
>> many others. The Musion Academy is a think tank for visual artists,  
>> creatives, academicians, and digital artists to come together and  
>> explore new technology and holographic projection - and is the  
>> forum to open up holographic projection to artists, creatives and  
>> all those interested. 250 artists have joined in the last 9 months  
>> realising their own unique creations in a series of workshops,  
>> guest lectures and events. Academy attendees include graduates from  
>> some of the UK's best art schools, animators and VJs.
>>
>> On Wednesday 23rd September, the Musion Academy will be co-hosting  
>> a special Cybersonica event featuring Jens Heinen of VisionLabz and  
>> the Cologne based Lichtfaktor "light-writing" crew and Simon  
>> Blackmore of the Manchester based Owl Project who will each present  
>> their own unique artistic explorations into the use of light as a  
>> medium.
>>
>> Musion Academy - What is it?
>> Musion has always been keen to foster relationships with academia  
>> and the general public. The Musion Academy is the institutionalised  
>> forum for students, artists and people from the creative industries  
>> to create holographic projection, live stream content and engage  
>> with the Musion technology in their own creative field. Everyone  
>> who is interested in this technology is invited to partake in the  
>> Musion Academy- designed to explain the technology and to enable  
>> YOU to explore your creative potential.
>>
>> Musion Academy Workshops - free and open to anyone
>> The Musion Academy allows you to learn about the past, future and  
>> present of Musion as a creative technology tool, a holographic  
>> projection technique, a live-telepresence vehicle and a new medium.  
>> Investigate your own visual style, learn about the do's and dont's  
>> of the medium and create your own content - your own visual  
>> language, your own Musion hologram.
>>
>> The workshops are organised in theoretical and practical units.  
>> This gives you the technical framework and creative know how to  
>> enable you to come up with your own ideas. Guest lecturers will  
>> report on aspects of the medium, and peer review discussions will  
>> allow you to reflect on your own progress in developing content.  
>> Explore what it takes to create holographic illusions, stage  
>> varieties and real time 3D effects in the performing arts.
