Compact-Impact Night is a renowned new media and design exhibition that promotes the latest ideas and creations in technology, and places them in a design and technology store for public viewing. Compact-Impact Night bridges the gap between concept and production by providing artists the opportunity to display their works in a retail environment.
The theme of Compact-Impact Night volume 4 is games. The games we exhibit will exist in a variety of formats: computer games, networked games, technology oriented toys, electronic gadgets, installations.... almost anything that is new media based and retail-oriented.
The opening night event will take place on Friday, April 1, 2005 at 6PM. The exhibition will continue throughout the weekend, until Sunday, April 3, 2005 at 9PM.
