Alpha-ville 2010Visionary Cities

VisionaryCitiesWelcome to Alpha-ville, London's new International Festival of Digital Arts, Music and Culture. We have prepared a jam-packed agenda of two evenings with groundbreakinglive music and visual performances including advanced electronic music, live cinema, interactive media installations, 3D visual performances, a moving image competitionand a screening programme.

”OUR CITIES ARE IN CRISIS AND THEIR FUTURES DEPEND ON ARCHITECTS AND URBANISTS WHO ARE WILLING TO LOOK BEYOND TODAY’S REALITIES TO DRIVE THE DIRECTION FOROUR INCREASINGLY URBAN WORLD. CONTEMPORARY CITY DESIGN IS FULL OF OBSTACLES STANDING IN THE WAY OF VISIONARY THINKING. IT IS TIME FOR US TO TAKE A POSITION ON HOW WE WANT TO LIVE IN THE FUTURE…IT IS TIME FOR A VISIONARY CITY”. (FROM THE BOOK “VISIONARY CITIES” BY THE WHY FACTORY, 2009).

Under the theme 'Visionary Cities' this 2010 edition is opening a discourse about the cityand society of the future as seen through the eyes of artists and participants. The festivalwill be a live and virtual itinerary for you to discover. Enjoy these 2 days and we hope tosee you back again next year!

Search “Alpha-ville” on Foursquare, leave tips in the rooms.

Unique evening dedicated to "live cinema" - a newly formed movement consisting of live digital music and real time visual performances.

“Live Cinema“ today stands for the simultaneous creation of sound and image in real time by sonicand visual artists who collaborate to elaborate concepts on equal terms. The traditional parameters of narra-tive cinema are expanded by a much broader concep-tion of cinematographic space, the focus of which is no longer the photographic construction of reality as seen by the camera’s eye, or linear forms of narration.The term “Cinema” is now to be understood asembracing all forms of configuring moving images, beginning with the animation of painted or synthetic images.”
