This is awesome! I love the artwork and the concept. I think I might join and experiment with the program.

I just thought this was too much fun not to share! Another interactive online drawing website!

I love this! Canada, especially Quebec, seem so much more advanced aesthetically than us!

I know! :) This company has been around for a while too. I am always mentioning them but no one seems to have heard of them. I think the interaction with the 3-d projection is so amazing.

ThingLink is the leading platform for creating interactive images and videos for web, social, advertising, and educational channels. Be creative! Make your images come alive with video, text, images, shops, music and more! Every image contains a story and ThingLink helps you tell your stories.

I love playing around with browser based music creators. I recently found this one, and it's pretty great. It's all royalty free loops and effects, and it's easy and fun. I wouldn't use it for writing music or anything I would try to promote, but it's an easy tool to get some ideas going.

OK now! Your giving me too many cool distractions, I'll never get my work done at this pace.

There are orchestras being formed, mainly by students, to perform video game music, and they collaborate with professional orchestras i. Also, video game makers are turning to professional composers and musicians for musical accompaniment so that music for video games is becoming more symphonic. However, the performances with orchestras are not interactive, which seems to me to defeat the purpose.

This NYTimes article discusses the influence of technology on an art museum, and the potential effect it could have on the art world. The Cleveland Museum of Art has created an iPad app for its entire permanent collection, something that is almost unheard of as of yet. The app can revolutionize the way people see the exhibits and view art museums. The app seems like a fantastic way for people to be more interactive with a piece of artwork on a wall in a museum. This seems to be an example of technology boosting and enhancing the art experience.

A website where you can "draw" with your mouse. This is very addictive! Much more relaxing to 'draw' on here mindlessly than come up with an idea for a drawing or painting!

This is a look at some videos demonstrating live action art exhibits. I like the 'laser cave' installation the most. None of these would be possible without the use of technology.

I love the integration of technology with theater and dance. Liz Lerman in her Genome Project for Dance Exchange integrated dancers with projected images...it was very effective.

I do too. The interaction between the live and the pre-determined is very interesting to me. It also creates an interesting depth to the performance space.

This is a phenomenal exhibit experience in France that I have had the please of visiting. Inside a hollowed out mountain, art images are projected at monumental scales and animated as well. Music accompanies the images to create a completely immersive experience. I truly cannot explain how magical the Carrieres are and I definitely represents the ever widening boundaries between how we interact and appreciate art and technology.
