Subject: Final announcemment of symposium on Creative Digital Interaction, eca 13-15 Sept 04
Please feel free to circulate to any interested parties
Symposium on and demonstrations of Creative Digital Interaction Edinburgh College of Art, 13th/14th/15th September 2004
The computer is a multidisciplinary instrument that breaks traditional boundaries that divide the creative disciplines. Digital technology is not an end in itself, but is a powerful tool for creativity.
The symposium will be a forum for communication between designers, artists, media workers, animators, architects, etc. as well as for a broad public, interested in digital creativity. It will offer reflections from key speakers, working within the concept and development of digital interaction, and on the role of these technologies in contemporary society. Their focus will be on how digital media allows designers and artists to approach creativity and realise ideas through processes corresponding to those presented by the materials and techniques of other disciplines.
The demonstrations will be hands-on for those interested in experiencing a collection of current developments such as the Tacitus haptic (touch) system and sketching in 3D.
The symposium on Tuesday 14th aims to provide an exciting programme that is inspirational and gives insight into areas where advancements and developments (such as haptics - touch) in creative digital interactions are happening.
The interactive demonstrations on 13th/15th September will include:
‘mimesia’ by Richard Brown
‘interactive portrait’ by Beverley Hood
Haptics: ‘touching the virtual’ from the Tacitus Project
The speakers are:
Dr. Angie Geary (Research Fellow at Camberwell College of Arts working with conservation and haptics)
Ann Marie Shillito, Mark Wright and David Gauldie (Tacitus Project: Haptic computing for 3D content creation)
Beverley Hood (Artist exploring interactive portrait)
Claude Heath (Artist exploring 3 dimensional drawing)
