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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Musion Academy - What is it?<br>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.<br><br>Musion Academy Workshops - free and open to anyone<br>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.<br><br>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.<br><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2" color="#9A9A9A">oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo</font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#FF00FF"><b>i-Design 09 </b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><b><br></b></font><font face="Lucida Grande"><b>University of Westminster, 309 Regent Street, London W1B 2UW<br>Thursday, 24th September 2009, 9am-7.30pm<br>Conference:</b> Standard £135, </font><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#6F9DBE">Design Week Subscriber £99, </font><font face="Lucida Grande">Students £75<br><b>Online Booking:</b> <a href="http://www.amiando.com/idesign_09.html">www.amiando.com/idesign_09.html</a> HERE<br><b>Exhibition, Talks and Portfolio Clinic </b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2">(must register)</font><font face="Lucida Grande"><b>:</b> FREE<br><a href="http://www.idesign-london.com">www.idesign-london.com</a></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><br><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><b>Just over a week until the i-Design 09 conference!</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><br><br><a href="http://www.idesign-london.com">i-Design 09</a> is a unique one-day conference at the <a href="http://www.londondesignfestival.com/">London Design Festival</a>. <br><br>It aims to inspire, entertain and explore how our digital future is shaping up, and what role interactive design will take in our cultural and social life.<br><br>A day packed with discussion, debate and demonstration of the best in interactive design and arts, hosted by Nicolas Roope. <br><br>Speakers include...<br>Adrian Shaughnessy, Desiree Collier, Andrew Chitty, Bill Thompson, David Taylor, Tali Krakowsky, Martyn Ware, Daniel Hirschman, Malcolm Garrett, Andrew Shoben <a href="http://www.idesign-london.com/index.php?page=speakers">and more...</a><br><br>With programme strands by 5D, Cybersonica, Onedotzero and Future of Sound. <br><br>Get your ticket now... <br><br>Follow us on <a href="http://www.twitter.com/thisisidesign">Twitter</a> - Follow discussion on <a href="http://www.dynamolondon.org/">dynamo</a>.<br><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2" color="#FF00FF"><b>Cybersonica at i-Design 09</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><br><br>Cybersonica have been regular contributors to i-Design since its inception in 2007 and this year present: 'Virtually Real' - an exhibition of digital interactive artworks and installations, technology showcases and demonstrations in the Old Gymnasium; afternoon Artist Talks in Deep End; '5D Interludes' in the main conference programme; and live performance as part of the i-Design 09 early evening showcase.<br><br>These various contributions present our unique - and often sonic - viewpoint on the i-Design 09 theme and how our "daily engagement with interactive stuff has made the inexorable move away from the office and desktop towards an experience that is decidedly in the real world".<br><br>Featured artists and creative agencies include Squidsoup, The Sancho Plan, Soda and Fiddian Warman, Owl Project, VisionLabz, Jason Bruges Studio, MOTH, SHOWStudio, Musion Academy, a selection of artistic work presented by Kinetica Museum and TINT and more guest contributors yet to be announced. <br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2" color="#9A9A9A">oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo<br><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><b>Sound and Music and Media and Arts Partnership present</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" color="#FF00FF"><b>Expo Leeds</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande"><b><br>25-28 September 2009</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"> </font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"><b>Expo is the UK's largest annual FREE festival of sound art and experimental music.</b></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2"> </font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="1"><br></font><font face="Lucida Grande" size="2">This year's festival lands in Leeds to take over venues and public spaces across the city, showcasing leading artists and fresh newcomers in sound based art and performance.
