The International Association of Mobile Digital Artists (iAMDA) will hold its first annual conference on mobile touch screen art October 23-24 at New York University ITP at the Tisch School of the Arts, with offsite events on October 22, 24 & 25.

The conference will feature academic presentations, software demonstrations, art exhibitions, and technological tutorials related to the emerging field of mobile, digital art (i.e. art that’s created on iPhones, iPods, iPads, etc).

Artists will meet, exchange ideas, exhibit work, do artistic demonstrations, and address issues related to the quickly emerging field of mobile digital art. Application developers have also been invited to talk about latest developments, and we encourage anyone developing art-related apps to attend.

Participants

This event is for anyone interested in making art, music, animation, video, or other forms of creative expression on mobile touch screen devices and for developers interested in making art-related apps.

Discussions about combining touch screen art with traditional and non-traditional media will be encouraged. Apple device users are likely to be in the majority, however, the event is open to users of all platforms and brands of devices.
