Description of an upcoming event at Georgia Tech>
\nFrom a 3-D drawing experience that incorporates artificial intelligence to a competition that features cutting-edge musical instruments such as a partially edible toy piano, there will be something for every arts lover on campus the week of Feb. 13.<\/p>\n

TechArts, a campuswide initiative inspired by Georgia Tech\u2019s strategic plan, will present three events during the week. The initiative is co-chaired by Aaron Bobick, professor and chair of Interactive Computing, and Gil Wienberg, associate professor of Music and director of the Music Technology Center.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith TechArts, our goal is to both push the boundaries of research and innovation in art and technology and to enhance and nurture the creativity of the entire community here at Tech,\u201d Bobick said.<\/p>\n

\u201cArt and technology are more entwined than ever before,\u201d said Rafael L. Bras, provost and executive vice president for Academic Affairs. \u201cIf Georgia Tech intends to define the technological research university of the 21st century, we have to find ways to incorporate the arts into everything we do, from research to our curricula. These events are the first major step that TechArts is taking to accomplish this.\u201d<\/p>\n
