The Digital Media 11 classes in Stockholm and Karlskrona are planning their final projects before leaving on an over 30 week internship period. These are a couple of the project groups to keep an eye out for.

Alexander is a Digital Media student in Karlskrona.

How have you spent your summer.
" I've spent two weeks in Thailand, in a large house (800 square meters) with a private chauffeur and four chefs, so that was pretty sweet. It is great to visit Thailand this time of year, even though it rains a a lot. I've also spent a week on Gotland and most importantly I haven't been working at all!"

What are you most looking forward to, when returning to Hyper Island in a couple of weeks?
" Meeting the new students. A few of my friends will be starting on the new programs in Karlskrona, but also to really make the most of the last months before our internship period starts."

Final question, Fouresquare vs Gowalla has been a hot topic this summer. What do you think?
"Foursquare, definitely. The brand is stronger and feels more reliable."

During the ”Marketing & Promotion” module at Hyper Island the Digital Media class got given a mission, to promote the school, the class and the individuals in it. The Digital Media 11 class in Karlskrona came up with the following idea for a sponsoring campaign:

"After hours of idea developing, planning, sewing and having fun the T-Shirt sponsor campaign ”Help Us Grow” saw the light of day. The T-shirt symbolizes us, 36 students, and how we are growing out of our clothes. The seams are bursting as we are taking place in the industry!
We wrapped the small t-shirt in nice paper, packaged it in a black paper bag and sent it to companies, magazines and bloggers world wide", says Digital Media student Ida Ragnarsson.

The students of Hyper Island are pleased to announce The Experience Animation and Technology Exhibition 2009, an exhibition of interactive and digital art.

The exhibition features the work of 120 students who are currently studying at Hyper Islands long term programs, Digital Media and Motion Graphics in the cities of Karlskrona and Stockholm.

Four weeks ago the students at Hyper Island were introduced to a new assignment.
The assignment was to get into 23 groups and create a solution that involved one or several technical components that was assigned by the school.

The components:
· Wii Remote
· Audrino
· Phidgets
· RFID
· Web-cam

The goal with the assignment was to not have the main focus on digital media and online environments. We were asked to explore an area much more likely to be new to us independently of our background.


Working with tangible technology highlights the importance of creating an experience, one of the key differences between traditional and digital media.

We have now prepared 23 different, exciting and innovative audiovisual installations on a exhibition for everyone to come and explore.
How about getting in physical contact with your distant partner by the use of a new invention. Or how about creating art in Jackson Pollocks virtual studio, both by simply using the wii remote?

Experience these installations and many more...

All students have worked hard with a strong focus on exploration and creativity to create one of the best Hyper Island Exhibitions ever.
So do not miss out on this chance to be a part of new interactive and digital art.

Since this is a big opportunity to network with industry people and potential future students we have put all effort into making this as great as possible.


Also, the best prototypes of the exhibition will be taken to London for a second exhibition after being reviewed by a school jury (exact date to be announced).


The exhibition opens on Saturday October 24th
Gallery hours: 11:00AM. to 5:00PM
Tickets: Free of charge

Address:
Telefonvägen 30
