Print ArticleUnder the motto "Image, Music & (E)Motion," photokina 2008 will present IMMOTION–the photokina Party Night, a unique event offering a sizzling combination of sound and vision. Top international performers from the live and club music scene will meet up with young, international VJ and imaging projects. There to provide the perfect party atmosphere will be Deichkind, Bomb the Bass, Pan/Tone, and other top musical acts.
This year, for the first time ever, photokina will be staging IMMOTION–the photokina Party Night. To be held on Friday, September 26, the event is being supported by many big names from the imaging industry, including Epson, Samsung, Kodak, Cewe Color, and Fujifilm. Together with the photokina organizers — Koelnmesse and the German Photographic Industry Association — they will be looking to attract a young, technophile, and lifestyle-oriented audience to photokina. "With IMMOTION, we are making a conscious move to appeal to a younger target group with a big market presence and thereby issuing an important mission statement for the coming years," explains Executive Vice President of Koelnmesse Oliver P. Kuhrt.
Offering an exceptional blend of music and photography under the motto "Image, Music & (E)Motion," IMMOTION–the photokina Party Night 2008 will provide partygoers with a unique sound and vision experience on two floors of the Rhine Park Halls at the Cologne Exhibition Center. The event will feature an encounter between some of the latest trends in live and club music as well as young international VJ and imaging projects. Headline VJ acts such as Bruno Tait and vonmorgen from Cologne as well as Lotus Lumina from Erfurt will be appearing with live visuals that have been specially produced for IMMOTION and which are guaranteed to transform the venerable Rhine Park Halls into the hottest and trendiest nightspot throughout the whole of photokina.
Other event highlights include myphoto, with party guests to be photographed upon their arrival and the images then transmitted via WLAN to the hall and projected in real time onto a large screen. The lobby will also feature images from Select — an exhibition series that supports young German photographers and provides them with a platform to show their work.
