Description:
In a studio atmosphere extending across time zones, students imagine and filter realities and cultures, and offer personal views on life potentials. They share art, visions, experiences, and adventures through creative efforts in animation, multimedia, Web site development, and telecommunications.
Works flowing from HORIZONS represent destinations and directions, expand understanding through new knowledge and contact, and reference or interpret explorations and discoveries of the past, present, and future.
Regional and international sites support experimentation in CG animation, interactive and object-oriented multimedia, QuickTime movies, dynamic Web site production, and Internet videoconferencing. Artists and mentors collaborate with young students in networked studio environments alive with concepts and conviviality, where narratives and realized works are communicated to remote partners via the Internet and a dedicated server.
