CHAT: A Digital Arts and Humanities Festival in February 2010

Scheduled for February 16-20, 2010, CHAT (Collaborations: Humanities, Arts & Technology) will draw together the diverse digital resources of the Triangle area in a series of performances, discussions, exhibitions and workshops that explore ways in which technology is transforming the practices in the arts and humanities.

Visit our Festival Web site at http://www.chatfestival2010.com for festival details, including registration information.

With three leading research institutions--the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and North Carolina State University; the supercomputing center RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute); and a cluster of some of the top technology firms in the nation located here in the Research Triangle Park, the Triangle area is poised to become a top center for innovative digital arts and humanities pursuits.

The CHAT festival’s events will showcase existing collaborations among these resources while exploring the ways digital technologies are transforming the practices of the arts and humanities, including how we learn, think, know, teach and express ourselves both as individuals and as communities.
