The THU festival is a not-for-profit venture that aims to invest any money that is raised at the end of each event back into new projects and funding scholarships. Backed by Scott Ross, the founder, chairman, and CEO of Digital Domain, Inc., THU 2014 promises to take art festivals to a completely new level. "THU is like Burning Man meets TED - a global gathering of the world’s new generation of digital creators," Ross comments.
