VISITORS to a university are being urged to sample the latest technology at a festival.

During Teesside University's Creative and Connected conference, a digital festival is being staged around the campus.

A major focus of the event, from 10am to 6.30pm today, is The Big M, a futuristic mobile building operated by Isis Arts in the student car park.

Visitors will be able to see animation and computer graphics, as well as design websites, make voice-overs and play computer games.

Several live bands will take part in the festival
