ArtsIT is meant to be a place where people in arts, with a keen interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT, having strong ties to arts in their works. Now in its third edition, ArtsIT has become a leading scientific forum for dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of Arts, Design & Technology.
The Milano event will bring together leading researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to present their innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges in a stimulating environment. The event aims to foster trans-disciplinary alliances and co-operation between IT researchers, artists and industry members as well as to offer artists novel creative tools that expand the grammar of the traditional arts.
The conference represents a valuable opportunity for researchers, artists and industry members both to showcase new, cutting-edge ideas that will shape the future of art and technology, and to gain insights into the innovative techniques and trans-disciplinary activities that are making strong impacts both on the world of the arts and on society at large.
The main focus of this edition is working for the artists: presenting tools, systems, models, artworks/performances/shows, empirical studies that may enrich the possibilities for artists and creative people with working with new media technologies.
