CVATD a Hit at FSU Digitech 2013!
Each year The Florida State University hosts a free, open-house technology fair, titled FSU Digitech. During this event, students showcase their apps, algorithms, digital art or music, visualizations, robots, start-ups, computer games, virtual worlds, and other applications of computing technology. On Friday, March 29, 2013 between 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, this fair took place in the atrium of the William Johnston Building, just off of Landis Green on FSU’s campus. Colleges and departments from various fields across the campus presented exhibitions, showing innovative technologies applied to their specific areas of study.
The Department of Art
This year, students, faculty and staff from The College of Fine Arts (CVATD), proved it was fierce competition.

Interior Design student Anthony Conetta, created an exhibit on The Technological Impact on Creativity.
The Facility for Arts Rearch
The FSU Facility for Arts Research (FAR) was a forerunner at Digitech, showcasing new media and starring in a demonstration for 3D Printing, with their MakerBot. FAR’s Windham Graves gave a presentation on 3D printing focusing on techniques and materials used, current products and research, and future goals.
We are proud to have such innovative departments and students to showcase, on behalf of FSU College of Fine Arts! To view more images from The College of Fine Arts at FSU Digitech 2013, visit the FSU CVATD Facebook page or the full gallery!
