The response to the full line-up of Happy F5 has been phenomenal. You – the creative community – are so psyched to just get away from it all for a few days and hit the playground. Tickets are going fast – be sure to lock in yours.

And, yes, an update already! A bunch of new additions to the stellar line-up:

  • Iconic designer Todd Oldham introduces Wayne White for the final act of Happy F5
  • MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts interviews Mark Romanek during his special session
  • Minivegas will speak to their installation “Atlantis” during one of our two mini-talks
  • Shantell Martin takes the stage in anticipation of her Hidden Oras installation in the second of our two mini-talks
  • Kid Koala and Minivegas will be joining Tanya Morgan on-stage for a collaborative live set at the beginning of the duo’s session

And don’t forget: to get the most out of the Tronic/F5 Virtual Exhibit, download the free, one-of-a-kind iPhone app Goldrun – http://bit.ly/cedb4j. Do this before you get to F5 to get the most out of the exhibit – from your walk up Broadway to the Hudson Hotel to the interior space at Roseland.

With two weeks left, it’s time for the F5 takeover! Oh, and it’s playtime too! As you enter the world of F5, you’ll be part of the RE:VISION experience. It’s here where we’ve curated and constructed a borderless//cutting-edge gallery space to showcase the work of emerging and world-renowned artists and designers.

  • Babycastles Arcade: indie gaming to the core — stand-alone video games that take players to the wild ends of their imagination
  • Minivegas presents Atlantis: an interactive installation where attendees cue their tweets (with #f5fest and others) and watch as they’re dynamically transformed on-screen throughout Roseland
  • Radium Audio Takeover: intricate and immersive sound installations that cater to both the individual and collective experience
  • Shantell Martin presents Hidden Oras: a live drawing project that turns members of the audience into a unique and original work of living art
  • Smilebooth: a fresh take on the old-school photobooth that encourages a hot mess of fun and spontaneity
  • Tronic/Goldrun/F5 present the Virtual Exhibit: a one-of-a-kind smartphone app that allows users to view and take pictures of GPS-linked 2D/3D virtual art all over F5.

Take a deep breath. We’re going to blow out the candles on another F5 at the soon-to-be-(in)famous CLOSING PARTY on Saturday, April 16th.

  • Starting at 9pm, you’ll throw down at Good Units in the basement of the Hudson Hotel (356 West 58th St.). Picture NYC-1982 and you’re halfway there…
  • Dalston Ponys will start the jam East-London-style — bringing feet and hearts to the dance floor
  • Grabbing the baton at 10:30pm, Eclectic Method follows up their speaking session at F5 with a performance that will burn the roof off the joint
  • At midnight, Flawless Media presents Verboten – dedicating the remainder of the party to Kompakt Records‘ honcho and DJ Michael Mayer
  • All the while, Shantell will be performing Hidden Oras in the venue’s stylized mezzanine

Doors open at 9pm –  open bar from 9:30-10:30pm. Everyone is welcome – so bring your buddies. Your official F5 registration badge gets you in and $20 at the door for your friends. And there’s still one more major announcement left….
