*Rich Mix and Whitechapel Gallery, 17/18 September *

The second annual Alpha-ville Festival, themed “Visionary cities” will bring the newest and best in digital arts to Rich Mix and Whitechapel Gallery over the weekend of 17-18 September. Presented by the non-profit organsation of the same name Alpha-ville aims to bring more people to engage with “quality” digital arts, design and culture, and to help emerging artists find an audience.

This year’s Alpha-ville line-up will include electronic music performances from artists such as The Boats, Actress, Kettenkarussell but there is also an intriguing mix of visual and educational programming. Festivalgoers will be treated to viewings of the finalists who’ve entered the “Visionary cities” international short film contest.

A showcase of work from final year students in the Bartlett School of Architecture’s “Unit 15” postgrad course will show how the course uses film, CGI, animation and motion graphics in the study of architecture.

Girls aged 14 to 19 who fancy a career as a sound engineer or producer will be interested in the free Alpha-ville Digital Music Workshop, which promises to teach participants how to create music, mix and synchronize it with images.
