On the 21st of january 2010 student teams from the Bachelor courses, the European Media Master of Arts Programme (EMMA) and the Professional School of the Arts Utrecht (PSAU) will present their projects to a wide audience. All projects have been realized in collaboration with companies from the creative industry, cultural organisations and public bodies.

The Project Market is your chance to be introduced to the work of our future graduates. More than 35 presentations and viewings will give a topical overview of the area of game design, music technology, crossmedia, documentaries, animation and interaction. An overview of which we are very proud!

The Project Market will be held in the Art, Media & Technology faculty building (Oude Amersfoortseweg 131, 1212 AA Hilversum) and will be open from 14.00 to 20.00 PM.


Example 1:
Luminous umbrellas are shown which were developed for the Crossing Borders Festival. While the festival goers are walking from one location to the next they can adjust the umbrella’s colour to suit their festival mood. These colours then direct dynamic music and interactive video projections.

 

Example 2:
Gary Grassroots was created in collaboration with Foei for the Klimaforum in Copenhagen. This interactive plant vividly pictures the climate problem. It blogs and reacts to climate-related entries on Facebook and Twitter. If you were not there in Copenhagen you can now admire Gary Grassroots in Hilversum.
