Art meets technology

The Creators Project, a partnership between Intel and Vice magazine, will hold the last of its five global events at Beijing's 798 Art District from Sept 17 to 19, to present a trail-blazing, dynamic and interactive exhibition of art and technology in China.

The Creators Project is a three-year program that provides a channel to identify and celebrate the work of visionary artists and a content creation studio for art and creativity made possible by technology.

Launched on June 26 in New York, it later moved to London, Sao Paulo and Seoul, attracting artists and fans from all over the world.

As each previous stop turned out to be a grand carnival of art and culture, organizers changed the one-day activity in every city into a three-day party in Beijing, hoping for a perfect finale in the project's inaugural year.

Nearly 100 artists and organizations from across the globe, including Academy Award-nominated director Spike Jonze and representatives from all the creative fields, such as music, film, visual arts, architecture, and fashion design, plan to participate in the event.

The event will feature curated artworks, film screenings, panel discussions, live performances and lectures on art. Top Chinese bands like New Pants and Zhang Shouwang will also perform.
