DUT CITY CAMPUS GEARS UP FOR DIGITAL FESTIVAL

By Takudzwa Makoni
The Durban University of Technology is proud to host the first ever Arts and Design Digital Festival! From painting and poetry, to QR-Code exhibits.
Pop-up shops, pechakucha, music and dance… As D.U.T. and JournalismIziko, we are always seeking to marry emerging technologies and practices, with traditional disciplines- to provide our students and our community with practicable, up-to-date instruction and opportunity.
Come and join Durban’s Arts community in celebrating this juxtaposition of Art, Design and Technology!
TIMES: Friday 12th September {5.P.M.-9.P.M.} and Saturday 13th September {12.P.M.- 10.P.M.}
*Shuttles to run every fifteen minutes between City Campus and Ritson Campus, parking available.
VENUE: D.U.T. City Campus, Dr. Pixley Kaseme Street { formerly West Street}.
Highlights: Creative Code Fest {Lab 1} Jenna-Leah Turpin, in association with Invotech, is running free workshops on Creative Coding- using programming as the medium for creating digital images.
Animations : Watch stop-frame animations created by Fine Arts students under the tutelage of John Roome, using mobile phones! Join in and create your own! Light-Paint Workshop {Studio 2} Join Natasha Jacobs for a light painting workshop.
Experiment with glow sticks, torches and cellphones to create digital images that test the boundary between Fine Art and Photography.
Join in or just watch! The Antidote {Arthur Smith Hall, 2P.M.-3.30P.M.}
The Antidote is centered on case histories of actual maximum security inmates’ serial killer crimes, and examines crime and punishment through the prism of prescribed morality- not for the squeamish!
