In June 2010 c3: VisionLAB will present STATE OF THE ARTS: a think-tank system symposium addressing the function of Arts and Media in Culture and Society. Inspired in part by the LA Opera Ring, this inquiry will function as a celebration of the Ring Festival LA and key themes around Richard Wagner, as well as serve as an inagural event that will launch the creation of a global arts and media node in partnership with the The Millennium Project and the 2009 State of the Future annual report. This unique symposium will function as a transdisciplinary inquiry into the function of art and media in society by bringing together thought leaders in the areas of the arts and media, technology, science, creativity and consciousness studies.

It will begin with an introductory event to be held on Monday, November 16, 2009. The c3: Center for Conscious Creativity & GATE (Global Alliance for Transformational Entertainment), in collaboration with IMERSA (Immersive Media Entertainment, Research, Science and Arts) and Creative Visions Foundation invite you to a special evening of light, sound and inquiry on Monday, November 16th, 2009.
