Oswego Alumni
As part of the State University of New York’s Conversation in the Disciplines program, the Center for Communication and Information Technology at SUNY Oswego will host a conference March 30 and 31 titled, “At the Intersection: A Conversation Between Art and Science on Information Visualization.”

The conference will bring together researchers and artists from the fields of art, graphic design, human computer interaction, information science, technology and other related fields working with interactive integrated media design to stimulate discussion centered on how digital imaging technology has transformed the ways to communicate information visually.

Advances and breakthroughs in computer graphics have made visual electronic media the basis of the modern information delivery system, and it is clear that communication design will continue to play a dominant role in the way people disseminate and interact with information well into the 21st century, organizers said.

“Our primary goal for this conference is presenting work that stands at that intersection between art, science, and technology in order to encourage and stimulate discussion among a diverse group of scholars and practitioners,”organizers said.

SUNY Oswego’s Center for Communication and Information Technology (CCIT) is made up of several academic disciplines including broadcasting, graphic design, human computer interaction, information science, and journalism. Common interests are data visualization, theoretical and applied forms of communication, evolving relationships between technology and communication, and the impact of new media on society.
