Visualising Space: Animating the Universe
10 June 2008, National Space Centre, Leicester, 10am-6.30pm

The Animation Academy at Loughborough University School of Art and  
Design and the National Space Centre in Leicester are presenting a  
one day symposium, ‘Visualising Space : Animating the Universe’.

The day will explore how ‘Space’ has been addressed and represented  
by the field of animation, and the science community, each striving  
to reveal and demonstrate ‘the final frontier’, and the wonders of  
the Universe.

Presentations and Panel Discussions looking at a range of topics and  
issues, and engaging with all things from ‘Duck Dodgers in the 24and  
a half Century’ to the working life of animated Astronauts, to the  
configuration of the planets, will be followed by the inaugural UK  
showing of the Space Centre’s new panaromic Dome show.

The day will be accessible and useful to artists and scientists,  
cartoon fans and astronomy buffs, animation students and scholars of  
the Universe.

Tickets cost £20/£15 (conc.), and can be booked through Gareth Howell
