Underground Art: Chris Marker’s “PASSENGERS” Exhibit
Cocteau used to say that at night, statues escape from museums and go walking in the streets. During my peregrinations in the Paris Metro, I sometimes made such unusual encounters. Models of famous painters were still among us, and I was lucky enough to have them sitting in front of me. —Chris Marker

Hm,
How did I get to miss this event! Luckily they (Unity technologies) have uploaded a bunch of video material and I can enjoy my coffee watching it now.
Organised by Fawz Kabra and Isak Berbic in the United Arab Emirates, BRIEF HISTORIES is a developing program with the initial event opened on March 17, 2011.
I have contributed my reactive installation work titled ENGAGE, CHANGE.

As I am looking in to developing Interactive Environments course @ AUS CAAD I have been advised to check the NETlab toolkit website led by Professor Philip van Allen an initiative of the Media Design Program at Art Center College of Design.
http://www.netlabtoolkit.org/overview/
I have to say that this toolkit looks very user friendly and suitable for students who are to face designing for interactions for the first time.
I have attended a presentation of the newly developed film/video color grading system today in Dubai Media City. The event was organized by UAE MediaCast distributor of Blackmagic Design products.
Overall, the performance is quite impressive. System completely relies on the GPU processing power and is developed to use CUDA instructions of the Nvidia graphics cards.
Da Vinci has a GO!
