ARTronica
The Orlando Science Center announces our juried exhibition of
digital art, ARTronica. This Digital Art Exhibition will take place
during Otronicon; the Orlando Science Center's ten day video game
and simulation extravaganza, January 19-29th and will include two
live digital artist stations with demonstrations throughout the
event.
ARTWORK SUBMISSIONS
ARTronica is looking for digitally created works of art that
explore the nature of creative practice, especially works dealing
with the notions of artistic expression through the use of digital
media. Works must be originally created by the artists using a
computer or game console as the tool of creation.
All styles of artwork in which digital processes (except digital
photography) were integral to the creation of the images are
acceptable. These topics may be expressed in the following types of
work, themes are envisaged (but not restricted):
2D and 3D Fine Art
Computer Art
Design
Computer Generated Models
Cartography
Virtual Art
Animation
Interactive or online works
Digital Music
Small-scale installations (displayable in light environments
without the need for dedicated darkened rooms)
LIVE ARTIST SIGNUP
During the ten day Otronicon event, the ARTronica gallery will be
presenting live artists at two artist computer workstations. Each
artist station will present the attendees with a digital artist
that is showing how they create their work. We are looking for
professional and student 2D or 3D digital artists interested in
being a part of this event. Artists will sign up for a 3-hour shift
and will be asked to create either 2D or 3D artwork duirng that
time frame. An important element that each artist must be aware of
is that they s hould be able to explain what they are doing and the
tools they are using to curious attendees.
Please let us know if you are interested in being a live artist at
ARTronica. Artists that donate their time are welcome to attend the
event free of charge on another day.
