Rhizome and HTC Present Fourth Annual Seven on Seven
HTC, a global leader of mobile innovation and design, is pleased to present Rhizome's Seven on Seven Conference, an annual event that brings together figures at the forefront of art and technology to create innovative new ideas. Over the course of a single day, seven teams, each comprised of a foremost artist and a leading technologist, are challenged to develop a new idea, concept, or prototype to premiere at the conference. Now in its fourth year, and to accommodate the demand for a larger audience, the conference will move from its former location at the New Museum and will take place at the Tishman Auditorium at the New School in New York on Saturday April 20, 2013, from 12-6 p.m. The seven teams will work together at spaces around New York City on Friday April 19 to develop their new idea-be it an application, concept, artwork, product, or whatever they imagine. A keynote speech will kick off the conference on Saturday April 20, which will be followed by twenty-minute presentations by each of the seven teams, with a Q&A conversation with the audience. The conference will conclude with a cocktail reception for attendees and participants in the Sky Room at the New Museum. Rhizome is a longtime affiliate organization in residence at the New Museum, located in Manhattan's Lower East Side. Rhizome is pleased to announce the following participants: Technologists: Dalton Caldwell (App.net, PicPlz), Dennis Crowley (Foursquare), Harper Reed (Threadless, Obama for America 2012), and Julie Uhrman (Ouya). Artists: Paul Pfeiffer, Jeremy Bailey, Fatima Al Qadiri, Jill Magid, Cameron Martin, and Rafael Lozano- emmer.
