Description
Since 1964, Aavid has been dedicated to serving the worlds leading technology companies with quality products, innovative designs, and global support. Aavid believes innovative ideas change the world and understands that engineering becomes more powerful when it is paired with human ingenuity, creativity and critical thinking. Aavid would like to invite our global community in celebrating the past 50 years of engineering and innovation with a global art challenge, “The Intersections of Art and Engineering”, that will look ahead to the next 50 years.
The Intersections of Art and Engineering Challenge is a call for innovators, engineers, designers, and artists from around the globe to create work that is expressive, challenging, and conceptual, yet simultaneously rigorous, practical, and empirical. We invite artists and engineers to think about the connections and chasms between art and engineering, and to explore how these connections will be applied in the next 50 years.
Entries are sought from various disciplines where there is a cross-fertilization among the domains of art, science, and technology. We hope to present an exhibition that will represent the latest innovative thinking from around the world. All mediums will be considered.
