New Motion + New Sound + New Code
Austin, Texas :: May 11-22
http://www.MGFest.com
Austin is known for supporting Indy Artists and Alternative
Cultures throughout the year, but specifically, this month the
Austin Motion Graphics Festival brings independent culture
creators to the big screen. From filmmakers to musicians, MGFest
unites artists across the divides of genre and medium to
celebrate the weird, imaginative and other-worldly visions that
use the technology of sequential images and the illusion of motion.
The studies of motion design, sound design and interactivity, are
featured during the weeks of May 11th through 22nd. The apex of
festival activity takes place during May 14 through 17 with
entertainment events across the city, including: an art showcase
with the Austin Museum Of Digital Art (AMODA), studio tours at
top Austin design companies, screenings of local and
international motion artists, a full-day educational conference,
an open collaboration summit, and two weeks of industry workshops
on creative software by Microsoft, Maxon, Adobe, Ableton and the
local innovative Livid Instruments.
This year's Austin Motion Graphics Festival begins May 11th, 2009
featuring internationally recognized artists including: Shepard
Fairey, Nine Inch Nails, David Byrne, Chuck D of Public Enemy,
Kanye West, Addictive TV, Digital Kitchen, The Mill, Passion
Pictures, Animal Logic, Post Panic, Dvein, David Lobser, Ken
Adams, Yoshi Sodeoka, Larry Carlson, Jen Stark, Bob Sabiston,
Sandy Stone, Paul Baker, Gift Culture, Artificial Life Preserver
and more.
This festival in the fast moving field of design technology has
opened it's Art & Entertainment events for only $7. Rather than
charging the typical $500-$1500 conference fee, the Motion
Graphics Festival encourages participants to stop complaining

music will be available at a discount rate throughout the
