2nd INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP on Interactive Media

Art, Technology, Cultural Heritage

Contigliano, Italy

July 10 - 23, 2010

Number
of participants is limited 

Inglobe Technologies
supports MEDIARS and the 2nd International Workshop on Interactive Media
with the donation of the Augmented Reality plug-in for Google SketchUp
($100 value) to each participant in the program.

It is a 2-week full-time course on visual arts, media theory and
technology in their relation to the place. The workshop is designed for
students, scholars and artists from architecture, design, media arts and
science fields. Classes are in English with a high quality tutoring,
they are thought for the students to produce at the end of the training,
an interactive multimedia art work that will be exhibited in the
medieval town. Moreover, this experience abroad has already established
an ongoing and growing dialogue between international artists.

This workshop is organized by
the
non-profit association MEDIARS (Centro Sperimentale di Media Interattivi
per l’Arte e lo Spettacolo www.mediars.eu
) in collaboration with the local municipality and with international
faculties and scholars from the University of Southern California,
University of Florence, University of Berlin, University of California
Los Angeles and California State University. With regard to the final
work the students will use the technology owned by the Center, and they
are free to bring theirs as well. The teachers would support and work as
facilitators for the students to get the collective projects done.

Together with our tour guides we are setting up very special tours in
Rome and surroundings that include most famous historical and
contemporary sites as well as out of the main route places. The goal is
to visit the most stimulating places to the participants so to come
back with the full cultural and intellectual experience.
