What will the future be like for creatives in the coming age of industrial creativity and AI?

Well we tried to find out in Welcome Week, by seeing what happens when poets meet Jazz Improvisors and DALL-E. The AI listened to the room and painted what it 'felt' on the big screen. (We really do lack the vocab for something that feels half alive!!).

Yesterday was a joy. We welcomed 26 prospective Media Arts students from Greenford Highschool. Their school motto is 'Learning to Succeed'. They did exactly that as Maeve O'connell introduced them to the world of Music Promos in the film studio. Star quality was evident throughout. We salute your sense of fun Greenford Highschool.

Order a copy of the fantastic short story/memoir MY DAD, MICHAEL JACKSON AND ME - by our friend and colleague - and much loved teacher - Christopher Hogg.

Prepare to be transported, as if by a cosmic rift, to the 1980s, when Michael Jackson's music reigned supreme, ET was Hollywood’s biggest star and Chris Hogg’s Dad walks in a Casino as roguish tyre-fitter and walks out with enough money to buy several Rolls Royces. Come on a riches to rags story, where everything goes right and everything goes wrong. Where one final piece of epic luck, leads to a final epic adventure that only has one outcome because our sins added to time always equal death.

PRE-ORDER - this pamphlet is released in November and will be mailed out immediately. A digital version will also be sent to your email. Prepare to be transported, as if by a cosmic rift, to the 1980s, when Michael Jackson's music reigned supreme, ET was Hollywood’s biggest star and Chris
