PLUTOPIA 2011: THE FUTURE OF PLAY
An extravaganza of music, performances, art, and talks based upon “The Future of Play”

Following the momentum generated by Plutopia 2010: The Science of Music , an official SXSW evening event held last March at Austin’s Mexican-American Cultural Center (which featured headliner DJ Spooky performing a world premiere of a piece based upon Brian Greene’s Elegant Universe) Plutopia’s 5th annual extravaganza promises to deliver a whole new set of experience adventures under the theme “The Future of Play.”

The Future of Play will explore the concept of play as transformative, in terms of activities, social play, education, creativity and imagination, community, communication and media, entertainment, well-being, storytelling, sustainability, staging emotions, exploration and adventure, and even work processes.

Held in Austin on Austin, March 14th, 2011 the event is thoughtfully positioned as a well-crafted link between SXSW Interactive, Film and Music. Furthering our mission and intent to create unique “sense events” this year’s extravaganza will include interactive installations, performances by world-renowned musicians / artists, talks, art exhibits, compelling projections, DJs, demonstrations, performance art, robots,  gaming fun, locally produced, artisanal food and beverages, and much more.

The entertainment, performances, talks and installations will include a wide range of emerging technologies, social and behavioral change and affective processes. These will cover everything from sensory engagement, smart materials and architectures, robotics and augmented reality to interactive, socially and location-aware installations, gaming and stage performances. Plutopia 2011 will be rich in converging technologies and science with the arts and entertainment.

Join us for this year’s “sensation-al” fusion of fun and knowledge, where provocative, inspirational, innovation provides an exploration into experiences of the future.
