10:30 Live Pixel People: An intro to frame:work
Laura Frank, frame:work
frame:work is a community organisation for live pixel people, professionals who make pixels for live audience or generate pixels live for camera. We represent the designers, operators and engineers who participate in the creative workflow that fills video screens in rock tours, theater, film backdrops, installations and more. Come hear about our mission to empower this community and build a professional society for our practitioners.

In the rapidly evolving worlds of video design and video engineering for entertainment, the path to success can feel uncertain and complex. This panel discusses crucial skills, academic routes, and job approaches for the next generation of video experts. Panelists will share personal stories of their own unusual pathways to careers in pixel design technology.

12:00 The Invisible Crafts of Creative Technology
Michael Al-Far (Virtual Innovation Partners), Shelly Sabel (Fuse Technical Group), Vlad Befus (LUPIXX), Michael Luck Schneider (Volvox Lab), Cesar Caceres (Brompton Technology)
This panel explores the complexities of digital labor, examining why we tend to devalue work done with computers. We’ll discuss the various skills required to successfully deliver cutting edge visual displays and how to best promote and price this specialized expertise. Join us as we peek behind the curtain and celebrate the teams that collaborate to realize amazing projects from the last year.

13:00 Representation in Video Technology
Sarah Cox (Neutral Human), Pod Bluman (Bluman Associates), Emily Malone (disguise), Kira O'Brien (FRAY Studio)
What actions can our community adopt to facilitate a workforce that encompasses a broad range of backgrounds and experiences? Frame:work’s panel will discuss our goals to improve representation in the professional community and brainstorm pragmatic solutions for cultivating an industry welcoming to all. We will also spotlight existing endeavors that have effectively championed diversity. After the panel, please join us for a frame:work meet-up focused on nurturing open, respectful dialogue.
