tasked to create multimedia art. At present, there is no public showcase

of these multimedia art forms.

Benefits !

Limitations !

for coming up with an artwork that features a combination of at least two of the following media: text, photo, video,

graphics, audio and animation. These art works will be installed in an appropriate

venue and the exhibit will last for an entire week.

How we will do it?

9. Once the availability of the venue is confirmed, the venue may be set up and the artworks installed. All video and animation works are to be played from a main computer which will be connected to the individual monitors, in order to minimize the space occupied by the equipment and to provide more space for the visitors and the artworks.
