Seeking "Idea Sponsors," is how Mason Dixon, co-director of the Motion Graphics Festival differentiated the 2010 event. In it's fifth year, MGFest is known nationally as the "premier creative conference for motion design, visual effects, sound design and interface technology."

Chicagoans Mason Dixon and MGFest Directors Julee Wood and Troy Milstead (thru their Audio/Video event engineering company Psymbolic) have been a major source of creativity, not only here, but have produced the festival in Austin, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Orlando, Washington DC and this year, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

What is so unique about the festival is that, although it's focus is motion design, the experience is about discovery, interactivity, education and creativity. "Creativity happens, not in the convention centers and hotel ballrooms, but in the little nooks and dark spaces," says Mason. This art is "not about presenting something, the way television talks to you, but it is very interactive, more of a dialog; a way that people can engage motion design... and the way motion design engages people."

With official plans to be unveiled this month (unique sessions, labs, imagination college, receptions, community pavilion, networking and press opportunities, entertainment & art parties, art directors features, meet-the-team discussions and unconference discussions), MGFest, which used an invented currency (designed by Shepard Fairey the OBEY Giant) for their 2009 circuit, are always experimenting; not just with content - but with the event's very structural nature.

For example, 2010 will see "Artists as Curators," says Dixon, "Chicago has many internationally renown artists... not always known or celebrated here; hidden talents that will provide their unique vision," Dixon claims. The intent is that Artists as Curators will allow the entire experience to unfold organically by all those that participate; in essence every participant becomes an artistic collaborateur. A shorter event than in previous years, MGFest Chicago 2010 is five days packed with potency and promises "an unprecedented degree of event integration."

As with anything cutting edge, "most larger brands don't understand how to plug into the festival because it doesn't fit the traditional model," says Milstead. "We definitely have a menu of ways for large sponsors to benefit from the event, but we also seek their own ingenuity." With participation online and through live events, MGFest connects artists, participants, curators and sponsors not just locally, but across screening events in over 30 cities nationwide; most large-scale metropolitan areas are included providing an artistic experience that falls somewhere between Burning Man, Lollapalooza and Chat Roulette. The festival audience is immense and provides the rich creative soup that fosters the evolution of artistic expression in a digital age.

Psymbolic, also a multimedia label "represents a select roster of audio, visual and multimedia artists available for bookings and commissions worldwide." Julee, Troy and Mason are not only intellects of artistic merit (their experimentation likened to a digital/graphic Bauhaus), but have woven their business into a ever-expanding artist, client, and brand fusion that tests the limits of motion design and artistic experience.

At the moment of separation of the body from the brain, our ability to differentiate thought from prosthetic breaks down. Our body extends as far as our effect, far beyond our ability to see it happen. Both the threat and promise of virtualization is that its nature will have a form of dance more appropriate to us than what we now call "human."

Advertisers designing retail spaces have coined the term "Experience Design" to describe the full coordination of the digital technology used in the store.

Event producers on the other hand create temporary versions of these designed experiences, and with the proliferation of digital devices into nearly every area of our lives, those that produce large-scale multimedia events are increasingly looking to new emerging media forms to enhance the excitement of participants.

Event producers like Psymbolic's Troy Milstead and Julee Wood orchestrate mediums such as music, video, lighting, digital kiosks, flat panel televisions, mobile devices, camera crews, actors, interior decorating, installations, sculptures and web-enabled interactive custom devices.

"As artists, we strive to create something that engages an audience and captures their imagination without distracting them from the social environment around them." Troy explains.

In 2008 for the first time, the Chicago Convention & Tourism Bureau integrated live video projection and new media elements into their annual Burnham Bash by working with Psymbolic. This annual event is a gathering of approximately 1,000 of Chicago’s top industry professionals and decision makers as well as distinguished representatives from government, non-profits, civic organizations and the media.

In follow up to the gala, creative director, Rani Woolpert expressed, "Psymbolic mixed a gorgeous canvas of imagery that played out beautifully in the space. I loved the montages of four images at a time. They were like master canvases. Combined with the lighting, the video canvases you created put guests into a rich landscape of color and a celebration of Chicago as a beautiful city. The space seemed to inspire people."

Rani continued, "I spoke with at least two individuals who have produced events in the Navy Pier's Grand Ballroom who said they had never seen it look like that. I wish you could have seen the look in the eyes of the person I was talking with, who is the president of one of the leading destination management companies in the city. He was just in love with the room. You get the idea. I am still living in the painting, and it is beautiful. Thank you for your professionalism and aesthetic sensibilities. I am so glad you were available for this event! To many more!!!"

Another event being an award ceremony put on by 40 North | 88 West - Champaign County's Arts Council presents the ACE Awards for recognition in Arts, Culture and Entertainment given out annually during the National Arts & Humanities Month.

In 2008, 40 North called upon Psymbolic to create an effective way to capture, display and visually communicate the award ceremony. What was being awarded, the meaning of the award, and the background information about the award winner was visually delivered to multiple rooms of the venue uniting the entire audience. Following the award ceremony, Psymbolic performed again during the after party showing real time visuals coordinated to live performances and diverse music.

In follow up to the award ceremony, director of operations, Steven Bentz expressed, "I want to thank Psymbolic again for the outstanding efforts surrounding last week’s 40 North ACE Awards. Your video elements helped make this year’s ceremony a complete success and something that people around the community are still commenting on." The Champaign News-Gazette, in one of their two follow-up articles praised the "glitzy" production values at the event.

Steven continued, "[Psymbolic's] excellent pre-production and live execution gave the ACE Awards a much greater impact for people attending the event, and we can’t thank you enough for your support. With your help, 2008 was the smoothest, most effective ACE Award presentation yet."

Psymbolic has been invited to design the experiences of both events again this year.

With the ever increasing speed of computer processors and mobile devices, these technologies offer a bold new palette of options for event architects.

"We're living in a time where computers are finally fast enough to be used for high-resolution realtime visual performance." commented Troy. "There's nothing quite like the feeling of introducing something new and witnessing the amazement. The art and challenge is to create visual environments that synchronize with the mood of the moment."

Psymbolic started out as an artist name for Julee & Troy (soon to be renamed V-DUO) and over the past decade Psymbolic has evolved into a Multimedia Label representing a select roster of audio, visual and multimedia artists that go above and beyond to create memorable events.

You can learn more about these newest changes in multimedia event production at Psymbolic's nationally touring Motion Graphics Festival. The Festival offers educational workshops on many of the technologies used to create unique event experiences in addition to showcasing the explosive artists and creators that develop them.

Experience Design (XD) is the practice of designing products, processes, services, events, and environments with a focus placed on the quality of the user experience and culturally relevant solutions, with less emphasis placed on increasing and improving functionality of the design.

Experience Design requires a cross-discipline perspective that considers multiple aspects of the brand/business/environment/experience and seeks to develop the experience of a product, service, or event along any or all of the following dimensions:

* Duration (Initiation, Immersion, Conclusion, and Continuation)
* Intensity (Reflex, Habit, Engagement)
* Breadth (Products, Services, Brands, Nomenclatures, Channels/Environment/Promotion, and Price)
* Interaction (Passive < > Active < > Interactive)
* Triggers (All Human Senses, Concepts, and Symbols)
* Significance (Meaning, Status, Emotion, Price, and Function)

The more in-depth and consistently an event is developed across
these dimensions, the more responsive an offering is to a
participants needs and desires.

Last night I experienced a sound installation at the Wexner Center by Ray Lee called Siren (Thanks to Bobby Silver for the tickets). We were brought into a theater and told not to speak during the performance, to turn off our phones and were encouraged to walk around the space during its length. After that we were ushered through an industrial hallway to this back room behind the stage.

Ray Lee: Siren Interview Video

Inside this big room were a bunch of tripods with horizontal metal arms on them. Some of these were tall and others were low to the ground. There were two guys in identical grey coats that began to arm the voltage chips in the center of these tripods with little metal tools. They would begin to make a single tone for each end of the arms on the tripods of which they would tune with their little tools by increasing or decreasing the voltage. They went around the room like this for a while creating in effect a large chord of different tuned tones. After a while they switched on these motors that made the metal arms rotate. This caused the tones to modulate and shimmer. The two men seemed to be able to control the speed of the rotations as well.

Slowly a cacophony of shimmering tonal combinations filled the space. As you moved about different melodic figures would emerge, all modulating and pulsating in different rhythms. I got mesmerized by a couple particular areas. Eventually they turned the lights off leaving you alone with the twinkling red fire fly-like blinking L.E.D. lights on the end of the arms. The humming sound filled the room. It wasn't all that loud but very dense and multi layered. You could get lost in it. You would pick up on a specific note and it would follow you around the room. It was like being in a tent in the dark and listening to the hum of a thousand different mosquitoes.

It was really soothing and meditative. I could fall asleep in there. It left me in a state of wonderment. Despite being an art work based in simple machinery, it made me wish I lived a hundred and fifty years or so ago when electricity was just emerging and things like magic still seemed real. Maybe art work like this is the only real magic we have left.

Greetings Friends and Family,
We hope this finds you well, enjoying winter!

We're writing to let you know about The IMMERSE Tour featuring KiloWatts, Aligning Minds, The Great Mundane and Psymbolic--visuals. We're currently locking down dates for March/April on the East Coast and May/June in the mid-west/West.

If you are interested in hosting this tour, please send a simple inquiry to David Fogel via the IMMERSE Tour Contact Form

Information about the participating artists:
KiloWatts ~ (Gaian Mind, Native State Records - Philadelphia)
Aligning Minds ~ (Aleph Zero, 88 - DC)
The Great Mundane ~ (Psymbolic - Chicago)
Psymbolic--visuals

Background context on The IMMERSE Tour: Utilizing the mediums of sound and imagery, the IMMERSE Tour showcases the harmony of universal music and motion graphics.

Living in an era of instant information accessibility, sensory overload and the virtual rather than the actual, humanity is IMMERSED in a paradox between nature and technology. Perhaps though these opposites are symbiotic and not adversarial. Thus enters KiloWatts, Aligning Minds, The Great Mundane, and Psymbolic--visuals.

Through sonic and visual wanderings, an IMMERSIVE night will take attendees on an adventure that converges at the nexus of everything, celebrating life, death and the happenings between the two. As artists choosing to incorporate, express and promote these concepts, the tour is in a position to IMMERSE others in a coordinated, impactful experience that will create a powerful ripple-effect of awareness and inspiration.
