The Task

This year's task is create art that wouldn't exist without technology. Think beyond just drawing apps. What if you could create art that responds to sound, moves with the wind, or tells a story through interaction? Some ideas:
  • A canvas that gets painted by sound
  • Art that evolves based on user emotions
  • A digital mural that multiple people can paint simultaneously from different locations
  • Art that reacts to your heartbeat or movement
  • A drawing tool controlled entirely by gestures
  • A visualization of your daily life turned into abstract art
The possibilities are endless! We encourage you to think outside the box and create something truly unique.
