Opening on Friday 8th June 2001
From 8 June until 4 August 2001, Silicon Pulp is celebrating Otomo's anime opus with an exhibition of rarely seen cels, artwork, storyboards, merchandise, manga and more.

This must see exhibition will also feature an extraordinary Akira inspired installation by Italian artist Ludovica Gioscia on the theme of telekinesis - the ability to move objects through force of will alone. By combining the film's soundtrack with digital footage projected on a plasma screen, the installation transforms simple movements into mesmerising telekinetic exercises. The installation will be presented during the first 2 weeks of the exhibition.
