The course will provide a tour of the past eleven years of the Arts and Digital Culture program as a learning opportunity for those interested in future participation. The full-day/6 hour course is as follows:
The workshop will begin with an introduction to the purpose, goals and intent of the Arts program. To achieve this, the past decade of organization, history and contributions to the program will be briefly surveyed. This introduction will emphasize the nature and range of contributions that the program seeks to solicit and their relationship to the broader goals of ACM Multimedia.
A handful of Arts pieces will be highlighted to explore the variety of successful approaches to presenting high-impact art integrative multimedia work as technical track content at ACM Multimedia. Additionally, they will be used to explore and discuss the relationship between these contributions and the state-of-the-art at ACM Multimedia.
Here we will decompose what makes a great Arts technical paper (and what makes a bad one). This module will aim to demystify the process of writing and Arts paper and provide insight into what program chairs look for, what reviewers examine contributions on and what they often strike against.
TBA.
While we will open the floor for discussion at the end of each module, we will also set aside time at the end of the course for people to dive into their own work and questions as they relate to the Arts and Digital Culture section at SIGMM.
