@rte Movement 2008: "Art and Technology United!" Home Register @rte Seminar @rte Attack! Contact Us Sponsors: |
This is The @rte Movement: Art & Technology United. The Movement aims to educate people on the many and varied ways art can be brought into the digital realm and celebrate how artists utilize the available technology in order to bring their vision to reality. This event is spearheaded by @rte Attack!, a Digital Art and Photography Exhibit. Through this exhibit, Filipinos can show how art and technology come together in their own personal way and showcase the natural artistic inclinations about environmental awareness. Seminars and hands-on tutorials provide the necessary education on important issues regarding art and technology, issues that are not usually brought to the forefront and thus are unknown to many people. An alarming number of people still do not regard Digital Art to be a valid form of artistic expression, and as such we hope this event may act as that small stone that eventually causes an avalanche in the realm of Digital Art and other similar fusions of art and technology. As such, we will hold seminar (@rte Seminar) and short tutorials supervised by Mr. Ivan Despi from AcidHouse and Electrolychee and Mr. Christian San Jose, a graphic designer on August 11, 2008. This event is sponsored by the University of the Philippines Association of Computer Science Majors (UP CURSOR) and is held as part of CURSOR Month, an annual celebration of the organization's founding. This year, The @rte Movement 2008 is also part of the Philippine Youth Congress in Information Technology 2008 (Y4iT 2008). We as an organization believe not only in educating Computer Science students with regard to their chosen course but concern ourselves with a student's holistic development; thus, events such as these were born from the passions of its members. We invite you to share these passions and to move with us towards our ideal. |
