Overview

CreativeMornings is presenting the second installment of the CreativeMornings global theme 'Art + Technology’ this month, where Matt von Trott will be presenting Assembly’s latest creation; The V Motion Project. This project combines the collective talents of musicians, dancers, programmers, designers and animators to create an amazing visual instrument.  Creating music through motion is at the heart of this creation and uses the power of the Kinect to capture movement and translate into music. Performed live and projected onto a huge wall.

Started by Tina Roth Eisenberg, in New York three years ago, CreativeMornings is a free, monthly breakfast lecture series for creative types. After growing substantially over the last year, CreativeMornings currently has chapters in 29 cities around the world including San Francisco, Berlin, Vancouver, London, Cape Town, Singapore, Sydney, and São Paulo.

The arts are often seen as a “nice to have,” especially amidst tight budgets. Yet, CreativeMornings believes that it is through mixing arts and design with other disciplines that society can foster the next generation of creative doers and makers. In an effort to stir up a global conversation, CreativeMornings has partnered with John Maeda, President of Rhode Island School of Design and their STEM to STEAM initiative to recognize the magic that bubbles up when Arts and Tech intersect.
