Admission: free


Everyone who's anyone in Rotterdam will be walking down the V2_ red 
carpet at January 27 for the premiere of Olivier Otten's interactive 
feature film /Order/. His first full-length work follows his hugely 
successful interactive Selfcontrolfreak shorts. Preview at 
www.selfcontrolfreak.com

Order was realized in cooperation with several artists and designers 
from Rotterdam. The viewer plays an active role, and is responsible for 
the development of the story. The world première is followed by a Q&A 
with the director and participating artists, about the (im)possibilities 
of interaction in film. After party with DJ Jonas Vorwerk and champagne!

For the third time the students of the Media Technology MSc program 
present their installations at V2_. The Media Technology MSc program is 
a place where students are encouraged to formulate their own scientific 
questions, and to translate personal inspiration and curiosity into 
their own research projects. To answer these questions, students are 
stimulated to create actual installations, by creating and doing, new 
scientific insights into the underlying questions are encountered.

Bas Haring will give a special lecture before the opening on February 
9th. More information will soon be available on www.v2.nl.
