on

As Los Angeles rebuilds from the devastating fires, the resilience of its community shines through in unexpected ways. One such beacon of hope is the iconic New Media Film Festival®, which has boldly transitioned to a virtual format for this year’s event. The festival, originally scheduled to take place in person, will now be held online on June 4th and 5th, 2025.

Los Angeles, CA, United States, 28th Feb 2025 – The three months leading up to an event are critical, and after assessing the current situation from the California fire devastation and ongoing rebuilding efforts, the festival is making a concerted decision for the local and global communities. “We have ensured that the full value and more of what an in-person festival would cost has been given to charities. Pricing will be kept at a minimum, and the full festival experience, including coveted networking opportunities, special guest speakers, giveaways and more will be made available,” stated Founder/Director Susan Johnston, New Media Film Festival®.  

These fires hit close to home with many of the team members being affected.  Within days the festival sent a list to their 80,000 newsletter subscribers, socials and website www.newmediafilmfestival.com with links to direct vetted information on Evacuation/Incident Maps, Fire Dept fire Updates, Fire Statistics, recovering and rebuilding from a disaster. 

The shift to a digital platform allows the festival to continue its tradition of showcasing diverse talents and fostering community spirit, even amidst adversity. By creating an intimate atmosphere online, they celebrate the resilience of art and its ability to heal and inspire. 

The virtual festival offers a rich tapestry of experiences that celebrate the indomitable spirit of Los Angeles. Audiences will be treated to an eclectic mix of screenings, interactive sessions, and thought-provoking discussions, all accessible from the comfort of their homes. As the city heals and rebuilds, the multiple award winning New Media Film Festival® stands as a testament to the power of art and community to inspire and uplift, even in the face of great challenges.

This bold move underscores the festival’s commitment to the global content creator community, innovation and story, ensuring that the magic of New Media Film Festival® endures, no matter the circumstances. This is a festival that knows how to pivot. In 2023, the festival’s beloved Landmark Theater on West Pico closed three weeks before the in-person festival, yet with all the moving parts it takes to put on an event of this magnitude, a new venue was found, and the show went on. Different circumstances offer new visions and implementations, and the team is proud to assess and adapt for the good of all.

In the dynamic world of content, originality is key. The New Media Film Festival®, which has been Honoring Stories Worth Telling since 2009 for all ages, all cultures, all media – offers a unique platform for storytellers who dare to step away from the conventional and embrace innovation. With a submission process that values story and production quality, the festival opens doors to industry leaders and potential collaborations. It’s an opportunity for creators to retain their rights while gaining exposure and recognition from seasoned professionals in the field of New Media. 

 Early Line-up starts in January and closes on April 6th 2025, the final day to submit to be considered for awards. Grand Prize Award, Priceless.  Meetings with HBO and Marvel, along with studio time in Los Angeles, and various production services and perks– Best of Category and Top 3 scripts each win perks, detailed on www.newmediafilmfestival.com/submit

On February 26, Slusncoin, a renowned cryptocurrency platform, announced that it will officially release its innovative blockchain smart currency, CSAI, in 2025. As the core digital asset of Slusncoin, driven by deep integration of blockchain and AI technologies, the release of CSAI will further drive the platform’s global expansion and offer users the potential for hundredfold value.

Since its founding in 2021, Slusncoin’s technical team has advanced the digital asset trading platform by leveraging industry-leading blockchain technology, gradually building a multi-tiered, high-performance crypto asset ecosystem. It has rapidly become an important player in the global crypto market, with operations spanning 70 countries and regions and over 6 million active users, earning strong industry trust.

To meet market demand and align with cutting-edge technologies, Slusncoin introduced the decentralized AI computing power-sharing network—CSAI ecosystem. By combining efficient GPU computing resources with robust blockchain technology, it provides users with secure, cost-effective, and efficient computational support. Through this innovative ecosystem, it enhances the integration of AI and Web3, offering users a new business model and application scenarios.

The total supply of CSAI tokens is set at 150 million, and as the core asset of the CSAI ecosystem, its intrinsic value is reflected in the diverse application scenarios of the tokens. Token holders can stake CSAI tokens to gain validation rights and share in the platform’s ecosystem growth. Miners on the platform will be rewarded based on each block’s generation, with rewards decreasing annually, ensuring the stable growth of CSAI token value.

For long-term development, Slusncoin has adopted an innovative PoS mechanism to enhance system security and stability, while providing rich incentives to attract more users into the CSAI ecosystem. Through this decentralized model, Slusncoin expects to further expand its user base and offer more diverse application scenarios, driving the diverse development of the global cryptocurrency market.

The launch of CSAI tokens is expected to officially begin in early March. Slusncoin plans to gradually increase the token’s application fields through phased releases. Initially, CSAI will be used for platform transactions, payment for computing resources, and computing power leasing. As the platform expands, Slusncoin will further extend CSAI’s applications to AI model training, decentralized data storage, smart contract execution, and other fields, increasing its market penetration.

According to the long-term development plan, in the future, CSAI will not be limited to the cryptocurrency trading field but will play an important role in AI-driven computing, data analysis, financial services, and other industries. With the continuous advancement of AI technology, CSAI is expected to become one of the core driving forces of the global digital asset market, further promoting innovation and progress in the digital economy. Slusncoin and its users will experience even greater value.

ARise Just Killed Screens—See-Through Tech That Changes Everything

February 28, 2025

By

London, United Kingdom, 28th Feb 2025 – ARise, a global innovator in transparent display and augmented reality (AR) technology, is redefining the way people interact with digital content—eliminating the need for headsets, handheld devices, or traditional screens. Since its founding in 2017, ARise has developed a seamless, glass-based display technology, that is already finding applications in luxury retail, fine dining, education, and smart transit systems.

“At ARise, we are revolutionizing augmented reality by removing hardware barriers,” said Layvonna Hayashi, founder of ARise. “Our transparent display technology seamlessly integrates digital content into real-world environments, enhancing interaction without disrupting immersion.”

1.0 Transparent Displays – Elevating Static Digital Experiences

ARise 1.0 represents non-interactive transparent display technology, allowing floating visuals on glass surfaces. This innovation has been widely used in:
    •    Luxury Hospitality & Restaurants: First deployed in 2018, when a magician and restaurant-bar owner at a renowned luxury hotel sought an astronaut-themed floating hologram above a city skyline backdrop, setting the foundation for ARise’s immersive displays.
    •    Retail & Advertising: Premium brands now use transparent storefront displays and floating in-store showcases to create cutting-edge digital brand experiences.

1.5 Interactive Transparent Displays – Touch & Smart Metro Integration

Building upon 1.0, ARise 1.5 introduces interactive touch and gesture technology, making digital engagement more dynamic. Key applications include:
    •    Smart Retail & Advertising: Interactive touch-enabled showcases where customers explore products with a wave of their hand or a simple tap.
    •    Smart Metro Navigation Systems: ARise’s interactive subway display technology allows passengers to click on stations and receive real-time travel information, route suggestions, and transfer details—enhancing urban transit efficiency.
    •    Educational Lightboard: A transparent digital writing tool for virtual and hybrid learning, allowing teachers to write naturally while overlaying real-time digital elements.

2.0 Integrated Transparent Display Machines – A Self-Contained AR Solution

Unlike 1.0 and 1.5, ARise 2.0 is a fully integrated standalone machine, combining both the display and projection system in a single unit. This advancement eliminates external projectors and is widely used in:
    •    Retail pop-ups & luxury exhibitions
    •    Corporate product showcases & interactive presentations
    •    Luxury real estate & showroom displays

2.5 Advanced Interactive AR Machines – AI-Powered Real-Time Engagement

Taking 2.0 even further, ARise 2.5 incorporates real-time AI interaction, hand-tracking, and smart personalization. It is being adopted for:
    •    STEM education & interactive learning tools
    •    Medical training & procedural simulations
    •    Luxury automotive & high-end real estate marketing

3.0 Floating Holographic Technology – The Future of ARise

Currently under development, ARise 3.0 is set to introduce true free-floating, mid-air holograms, eliminating the need for any physical screen or glass surface. This cutting-edge technology will shape:
    •    Live entertainment & stage performances
    •    Holographic advertising & brand storytelling
    •    Next-generation virtual meetings & communication

Shaping the Future of Transparent Display Technology

Since 2017, ARise has led the charge in hardware-free AR experiences, transforming industries including luxury retail, hospitality, transportation, and education. By blending digital and physical realities seamlessly, ARise is pioneering a new era of immersive, interactive, and accessible technology.
