Alpha-ville announces the launch of Alpha-ville EXCHANGE – a new series of events designed to give the London art, tech and creative communities the opportunity to connect, exchange ideas, get inspired and discover new talent.
The concept “EXCHANGE” underlines the notion of crossing talents and further connecting the frontiers of artistic expression with design and technology. The first of the series takes place on Friday 17th January 2014 at Rich Mix Cinema and Arts Centre and brings together some of the world’s most talented artists, creatives and designers of today to talk about their practice, influences and recent works.
EXCHANGE 1 features a day programme packed with presentations, talks and social events alongside a music programme in the evening for attendees to network and enjoy. Work will be presented across: motion graphics, graphic design, illustration, interaction design, generative design, digital and software art, mixed media art, data visualisation and more.
EARLY BIRD TICKETS + FIRST ARTISTS ANNOUNCED
Early Bird Tickets are now available at a discounted price of £99. Full day tickets grant access to the day and evening programmes. Breakfast, networking lunch, drinks reception and participant goodie bag are also included in the price. Early Bird Tickets can be purchased via Eventbrite.
