Alpha-ville, a new digital arts and culture festival, launches in east London this Friday and Saturday...

Based on the theme Visionary Cities, the festival offers a mix of music, architecture, moving image projects, and interactive design, all shown across two venues: the Whitechapel Gallery and Rich Mix.
