The Phoenix Arts Centre in Leicester has recently set up a new Digital Media Centre to complement its busy cultural agenda. This is a new premise that displays a more interactive and engaging program for emerging technologies in film, entertainment, art, enterprise, research and education. They have teamed up with the Institute of Creative Technologies at DeMontfort University to create an online new media centre (ONMC), which hopes to attract interest from all age ranges and from broader geographic and multi-cultural backgrounds. The online media centre opens the Phoenix Arts scene up to a much wider community and compliments their new premise. Recent masters graduate Matthew Fedak, under the guidance of visiting professor Howard Rheingold, Sue Thomas and the Director of The Institute of Creative Technologies Professor Andrew Hugill at De Montfort University, set up a site that comprises a suite of online educational tools, an interactive games hub, virtual worlds and forums for discussion about new media. This offers a bespoke space to showcase new research creativity and its impact on society. The ONMC also provides a suite of introductory online classes in digital technologies and new media. Phoenix staff were also trained in these abilities. The ONMC is aimed at opening up the Phoenix to new audiences, including students, young people, networked individuals and disabled users. Matthew Fedak took the project to the Web 2.0 2008 Expo in Berlin and placed the Digital Media Centre in front of an international audience. In turn De Montfort University explored the concept of an online new-media centre, and whether or not it is in fact a 'centre' or simply a part of a network. It gained case-study material, teaching material and expertise adapting digital research to the needs of a modern arts organisation, useful for other organisations and research environments. New graduate Matthew Fedak was able to improve both confidence and communications skills and following the Knowledge Catalyst scheme secured a job in the field. The Phoenix Media Centre has celebrated significant new audience numbers and has encouraged participation in new-media and a new, evolving arts scene as a result of the project.

莱斯特的凤凰艺术中心最近建立了一个新的数字媒体中心，以补充其繁忙的文化议程。这是一个新的前提，为电影、娱乐、艺术、企业、研究和教育领域的新兴技术展示了一个更具互动性和吸引力的项目。他们与德蒙特福特大学创意技术研究所合作，创建了一个在线新媒体中心（ONMC），希望能吸引各个年龄段、更广泛地域和多元文化背景的人的兴趣。在线媒体中心将凤凰艺术的场景向更广泛的社区开放，并赞美他们的新前提。最近的硕士毕业生Matthew Fedak在德蒙特福特大学客座教授Howard Rheingold、Sue Thomas和创新技术研究所所长Andrew Hugill教授的指导下，建立了一个网站，其中包括一套在线教育工具、一个互动游戏中心、虚拟世界和讨论新媒体的论坛。这提供了一个定制的空间来展示新的研究创造力及其对社会的影响。ONMC还提供了一套关于数字技术和新媒体的介绍性在线课程。凤凰的工作人员也接受了这些能力的训练。ONMC的目标是向新的受众开放凤凰号，包括学生、年轻人、网络个人和残疾用户。Matthew Fedak将这个项目带到了柏林的web2.0 2008博览会上，并将数字媒体中心展示在国际观众面前。反过来，德蒙福特大学探索了在线新媒体中心的概念，以及它实际上是一个“中心”还是仅仅是网络的一部分。它获得了案例研究材料，教材和专业知识，使数字研究适应现代艺术机构的需要，对其他组织和研究环境有用。刚毕业的马修·费达克（Matthew Fedak）提高了自信和沟通技巧，并在知识催化剂计划之后获得了该领域的工作。凤凰传媒中心迎来了大量的新观众，并鼓励人们参与新媒体和一个新的、不断发展的艺术场景。
