SIGGRAPH - FANTAsia SUBMISSIONS

5/06/2011 5:42:00 PM by Justine Thornley

Digital technology and the Internet, and now social networks, have given birth to media spectrum on which peoples of different countries interact and are connected wide and far. Diverse cultures of the world are more than ever interwoven into a cultural fantasia, creating the most spectacular rainbow and the most brilliant aurora touching the zenith and spreading across the sky. This media spectrum has unleashed humanity's creativity and imagination at an unprecedented, large scale.

"To live is to play" is a utopian ideal and more than ever closer to becoming reality.

FANTAsia invites innovative and playful digital and technologically mediated artworks that explore imagination in the networked era from artists worldwide. The digital FANTAsia Art Gallery will offer visitors a participatory experience that is interactive, playful, entertaining, futuristic, exquisite and intuitive. Explorations may include, but are not limited to, examining functional, structural, cultural, emotional or metaphorical definitions; environmental and social interaction; and constructing alternative realities, experiences and meanings.

Submissions from throughout the world and from artists of all nationalities are sought. Visual artists new to SIGGRAPH Asia who have created relevant artworks are especially encouraged to submit their work.
