“Interactive Multimedia Installations
and Digital Art”
IMIDA2010
July 23, 2010, Singapore
Workshop at ICME 2010, July 19-23,
IEEE International Conference on
Multimedia & Expo
The objective of this workshop is to bring together
artists, researchers and media designers in order to explore innovative use of
interactive multimedia technologies for enhancing creativity and developing
cultural contents. Artists are now exploring new horizons beyond the “white
box” or the “black box” inside museum exhibitions and envisioning “intelligent
spaces”, that is, digital artworks installed in public space which require
minimal and intuitive interaction that can take advantage of today’s interactive
and ubiquitous technologies. We believe that such a domain can be explored only
through an inter-disciplinary dialogue between science, technology, art and the
humanities.
Digital and interactive art has been developing
rapidly in the last twenty years and has now become a mature field. Artists are
now experimenting with the latest technologies and are sometimes developing
works together with researchers in order to explore new types of interaction
and novel use of digital technologies, including mobile technology,
context-aware devices, sensor networks, etc. The key point is that artworks are
aimed to be in direct contact with the general public and therefore provide an
excellent test-bed in order to experiment new ideas and their acceptance by the
mainstream public. Many digital artworks can thus also be seen as innovative
devices engaging the public in new types of interactions with new media and
envisioning thus usages and social impact. We believe that developing
art-oriented applications of multimedia techniques can lead to a faster and
easier acceptance by a broader public of the new interactive, ambient and
ubiquitous technologies that are coming out of the research labs.
