INTETAIN - International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment 2014

Welcome to INTETAIN 2014, 6th International Conference on Intelligent Technologies for Interactive Entertainment, that will take place in Chicago, United States, July 9–11, 2014

THEME: DISTRIBUTED CREATIVITY

Creativity is a widely accepted concept loosely referred to as a resource or a capacity to bring about ideas and visions transformed into a body of work. Creativity encompasses making, playing, and designing meaningful opportunities such as interactive media systems and experiences. For INTETAIN 2014, we welcome researchers in science and engineering and creative practitioners to come together and explore how shared media networks, shared production, and shared experiences may make use of a notion such as distributed creativity.

We invite the submission of research papers and posters, panel discussions, creative technology demonstrations, and workshop proposals that address all aspects of design, production, distribution, and assessment of interactive making and playing. See the Call for Papers tab for more information about submissions.

INTETAIN 2014 will focus on the relationship between emerging technologies and established practices for media making. The conference location of Columbia College Chicago provides an ideal environment to examine the inner workings and complexities of this convergence, as the college is the largest in the United States for the training for creative practitioners in media and communications. The outcomes of these conversations are envisioned to aid in building connections between technology research and practical, scalable applications in media industries. While interactive entertainment may have originated with computer games, today all forms of media anticipate an interactive element, including television, radio, journalism, and the cinema. The college is home to the largest cinema production program in the USA, and home to one of the top ten game programs in the USA, as well as awar
