Collaborations: Humanities, Arts & Technology

CHAT mashup
CHAT drew together the diverse digital resources of the Triangle area in a series of performances, discussions, exhibitions and workshops February 16-20, 2010, to showcase Collaborations: Humanities, Arts & Technology.

With three leading research institutions--the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Duke University and North Carolina State University; the supercomputing center RENCI (Renaissance Computing Institute); and a cluster of some of the top technology firms in the nation located here in the Research Triangle Park, the Triangle area is poised to become a top center for innovative digital arts and humanities pursuits. This first CHAT festival took place at UNC-Chapel Hill.

The CHAT festival’s events showcased existing collaborations among these resources while exploring the ways digital technologies are transforming the practices of the arts and humanities, including how we learn, think, know, teach and express ourselves both as individuals and as communities.

The Institute for the Arts and Humanities, a faculty development center in the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, coordinated the festival. Visit our Festival Partners page to view our festival participants and contributors.
