ETC project team Depero Futuristi will be presenting Balli Plastici November 12th at the Museum of Arts and Design in New York City. Presented by Performa 09, the evening will include an animated version of the puppetry ballet first produced by Fortunato Depero in 1918. The ETC team will also be giving a live demo of the software used to create the digitized ballet, as well as vouchers for audience members to receive their own versions of the virtual puppeteering software. The goal is to allow everyone the ability to create their own version of the ballet and in doing so join the ranks of the New Futurist movement.

Recently an ETC Project team's work on the YOUmedia space in the Chicago Public Library has been getting a lot of praise. We found another article in the School Library Journal.

On Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at Purnell Center's Chosky Theater, we at the Entertainment Technology Center will present the annual Building Virtual Worlds (BVW) Show. From virtual reality to audience interaction and everything imaginable in between, this live showcase of the most impressive student work from the semester is truly a must-see event!
Over the course of this semester, BVW students are collaborating in four-person interdisciplinary teams to create a series of virtual worlds, each of which must be completed within a one to three week time period. We look forward to sharing a variety of these worlds with you.
This year the ETC is very excited to announce the addition of a second BVW Show to accommodate the ever growing number of guests who want to experience this one of a kind event! For the first time ever there will be a 2:30 pm show that is open to the public, on Wednesday December 2nd in the Chosky Theatre. This show is “first come first serve” with the doors opening at 2:00 pm.
The second show will be on December 2nd at 6:00 pm and is strictly a ticketed event by invitation only.
We look forward to seeing you at the Show!
