In this day and age, it is possible to take photos inside the realms of video-games, harmonize with yourself and share information instantly.
The Evolution of Media will take participants on a journey from the present, into the past and future of communication and innovation, creating a critical overlap of the efficiency of idea-spreading and how rapidly it shapes into new forms.
Partnering with the Richmond Museum, this cutting edge display will put viewers an experience like no other, provoking the question “what is media?” and exploring how our life is influenced by evolving technology.
Get ready to create your own song, interact with sensory applications, make your own headline and snap polaroids while becoming a part of the ever-changing evolution of mass communication.

The Live Video Jockey Workshop is all about new innovations and creative thinking techniques.
Participants will be shown how to edit live video (similar to DJing, but with visuals instead of audio) and how to use free live editing programs. Students will then get to mix their very own videos and take home their creations on their own USB sticks.
