Semi-Permanent 2008 is coming...

Semi Permanent is an Australasian design conference that gets a bunch of amazing international creatives together to talk to a bunch of students and young people who are just getting started, about making it in the creative industries. We attended last year and heard some inspiring people speak, like a design firm in the UK, UVA (United Visual Artists) responsible for LED light and sound extravaganza's that will completely blow your mind (they toured with Massive Attack, did th Arctic Monkey's 'Brianstorm' videoclip, and installations for the likes of Sony Playstation). This year it's over two days instead of one with double the speakers and still with the sweetest after party ever, AND, design god Stefan Sagmeister (see above image) has just been confirmed. On August 15-16th in Auckland. Check out http://www.semipermanent.com/ for more info - see you there!
