Vote for Motion Graphics at SXSW

5 panel proposals

Motion Graphics Panel Proposals at SXSW need your vote to become a reality:

First Login Here, then vote for the following Motion Graphics Panel Proposals.

+ Artware and the Future of Soul
Visualization leads software design, yet the tools for visualization are primarily designed by engineers for business purpose. How can Artist’s re-envision ways of creating with computers that are more appropriate to their practice? How can technology help us to preserve those things that make us human?

+ Motion Design’s Most Wanted
Motion Graphics incorporates visual effects (vfx) and special effects techniques, but uses them, less as reconstruction of fictions made to look real, and more as a exploration of how our minds perceive repetitive imagery as objects in motion. Five top motion designers show their style and discuss their techniques.

+ Motion User Interface : Design Strategies
New interface technologies like Flash, Ajax and Microsoft Surface enable a new breed of rich-applications that merge animation with interactivity. This panel considers from two angles: technically, what can be done with this new software, and how should we re-think traditional UI and HCI design theories because of them.

+ Online Events and Ubiquitous Computing
Obama’s inauguration was the biggest test to the infrastructure of the internet and the websites that broadcasted the event. MMO campaigns, tweetups, flashmobs, virtual dance parties, and physical events with interactive online components, the synchronization of online and offline experiences is the front lines of ubiquitous computing.

+ Visual Music and Realtime Interactive Performance
Computers are finally fast enough to be used for high-resolution realtime audio-visual performance. This panel explores how to engage audiences, foster collaboration, remix, mashup, create opportunities for dynamic improvisation, and prepare for tomorrow’s advances in live performance.
