Summer Undergraduate Showcases

A series of shows will allow prospective employers and the public, as well as
family and friends, to view the culmination of students' hard work this summer.

e-Motion, the eighth annual show by digital media students, showcases creative
websites, edutainment CD-ROMs, 3D animation, digital video and computer games.
Digital Media student Tom Brown has used 3D crowd simulation to produce an
educational DVD of the body's immune system fighting a virus, aimed at GCSE
students (pictured below).

"I knew I wanted to do something using 3D crowd simulation as it's become very
widely used in visual effects over the last ten years, and it can demonstrate a
complicated subject like virology," says Tom.

e-Motion runs from 4 to 6 June in King William Court.

Students from the School of Architecture & Construction, including landscape
architecture and garden design postgraduates, will be displaying project works
at the old Meinier chocolate factory. The show explores making liveable
landscapes at a time of global warming, as well as promoting educational
landscape design opportunities in the UK.

BA Hons Architecture students are showcasing their works in the university's
Queen Anne Court from 13 June.

Senior lecturer Jonathan Tuckey says: "The Architecture student exhibition is a
celebration and display of students' work, from first year up to Masters,
communicating ideas of new buildings and cities.

"It is an amazing display of productive effort, through digital drawings, movies
and abstract models, and gives members of the public a chance to see inside the
old buildings and to experience the students' work."

Also taking place are exhibitions from students of the Postgraduate Media Arts
programme and BA Media & Cultural Communications, in the Stephen Lawrence
Gallery.
