SCOPE
The 2nd International ICST Conference on Arts and Technology (ArtsIT2010) will be held in Chongqing, China on 10-12 December 2010. The conference will be a meeting forum for both people in arts with a keen interest in modern IT technologies and people in IT with strong ties to arts. The objective of the conference is to bring art closer to people and to provide artists with a creative tool to extend their ways of artistic expression.
With the evolution of intelligent devices, sensors and ambient intelligent/ubiquitous systems, it is not surprising to see numerous research and art projects starting to explore the design of intelligent artistic artifacts. Ambient intelligence supports the vision that technology will become invisible, embedded in our natural surroundings, present whenever we need it, attuned to all of our senses, adaptive to users and context, and acting autonomously. High quality art or information should be potentially available to any user, anywhere, at any time, with any device. The information
environments will be the major drivers of culture which will eventually lead to the future，i4 space (intelligent, interactive, invisible and informative), a utopian kind of life.
