Research Art Exhibition

Interactive art has changed the nature of what we consider art to be.It is changing the creative processes and even the role of the artist that now is called new media artist or interactive artist. Intersections between art and technology are transforming the way art is produced, and each time more frequently teams of artist, designers, engineers, etc.. works together in art and media labs. These teams are not frequently related with the traditional art scene or circuits, as they approach or are directly part of the academia, the research laboratories at the universities, and the digital art specialized forums.

In this call for artworks we appeal directly to research artist or teams working in the convergence between disciplines, creating innovative technologies or just re-engineering existing ones through meanings and concepts. We encourage projects that focus on the creation of culture through digital media, reconfiguring technologies for the full range of human experiences.

We accept interactive installations, interactive cinema, and any other emergent art form that focus on the use of innovative technologies.
