        Scope
        
        ArtsIT is meant to be a place where people in arts, with a keen
        interest in modern IT technologies, meet with people in IT,
        having strong ties to arts in their works. Now in its third
        edition, ArtsIT has become a leading scientific forum for
        dissemination of cutting-edge research results in the area of
        Arts, Design & Technology.
        The Milano event will bring together leading researchers and
        practitioners from academia, arts and industry to present their
        innovative work and discuss all aspects and challenges in a
        stimulating environment. The event aims to foster
        trans-disciplinary alliances and co-operation between IT
        researchers, artists and industry members as well as to offer
        artists novel creative tools that expand the grammar of the
        traditional arts.
        The main focus of this edition is working for the artists:
        presenting tools, systems, models, artworks/performances/shows,
        empirical studies that may enrich the possibilities for artists
        and creative people with working with new media technologies.
