Innovation often results from the alchemy between technology, commerce and creativity. So it is with the Web, which has rapidly become the platform for a unique, interactive form of communication, combining cutting-edge animation and graphic design with high-quality sound-effects and music.

On Thursday, January 24, some of the region’s most innovative pioneers in this exciting new medium will showcase their work and discuss the state of their art.

Keith Rondinelli, Keith Rondinelli Animation Studio, New York City

Keith sees Flash as the 21st century's folk art; a chance to think differently and truly explore the web as a fun, informative, interactive space. Drawing on traditional cell animation, broadcast motion graphics, illustration and sound design, Keith Rondinelli Animation Studio has embroidered the Web with award winning commercial and experimental work. Clients include Volvo, Coca-Cola, Agency.com, MTVinteractive and the Simpsons. (Yes, those Simpsons)
