GREAT COMBINATIONS
You know how I love all things that are art-related and FREE. I love New Media too. Now I can combine them in classic style… like peanut butter and chocolate. YUM.
Check out this FREE Mobile Art Conference in NYC in October 2010 brought to you by the folks at The International Association of Mobile Digital Artists (iAMDA) and co-sponsored by NYU’s ITP program at the Tisch School of the Arts…another great combination!
iAMDA: Mobile ArtCon 2010
When & Where: The International Association of Mobile Digital Artists (iAMDA) will hold its first annual conference on mobile touch screen art October 23-24, 2010 at NYU’s ITP, with offsite events on October 22, 24 & 25.
ITP is a two-year graduate program located in the Tisch School of the Arts whose mission is to explore the imaginative use of communications technologies — how they might augment, improve, and bring delight and art into people’s lives.
The conference will feature academic presentations, software demonstrations, art exhibitions, and technological tutorials related to the emerging field of mobile, digital art (i.e. art that’s created on iPhones, iPods, iPads, etc).
Artists will meet, exchange ideas, exhibit work, do artistic demonstrations, and address issues related to the quickly emerging field of mobile digital art. Application developers have also been invited to talk about latest developments, and anyone developing art-related apps is encouraged to attend.
Participants: This event is for anyone interested in making art, music, animation, video, or other forms of creative expression on mobile touch screen devices and for developers interested in making art-related apps.
Discussions about combining touch screen art with traditional and non-traditional media will be encouraged. Apple device users are likely to be in the majority, however, the event is open to users of all platforms and brands of devices.
