SXSW Interactive

So there is no better week in my year than SXSW. I have been going since I was in high school. I am excited about next year's project with SXSW interactive and after looking over past speakers and panels, there were two names I was bummed to have missed out on.

Paul Miller spoke in 2001. Some may know him better as DJ Spooky. Besides being a world class dj and composer, Miller considers himself a multi-media artist combining music and video in his live sets and in his projects. He just recently released a audio/video remix of Birth of a Nation. He is someone who is definitely pushing the limits as a musician and artist and using technology to do so.

Matt Hulett was the president of Atom Films and Entertainment back in 2000 when he spoke. It was acquired by Viacom for 200 Million dollars. He recently was the CEO of MPire, which has helped move advertising forward on the internet. It seems everything this guy becomes involved with does extremely well and he keeps pressing ahead.
