Presentation

The International Innovation Symposium on Interactive Media [SIIMI] is an initiative of the Media Lab UFG and its partners. The event was first held in 2012, with audience of 500 people from diverse backgrounds and locations. Over the three previous editions the guests and the audience discussed the state of the art research and innovation in interactive media in the fields of art, design, communication, music, cultural and inclusive politics, education, ICT, computing and games resulting in an overview of the topic. Videos with the lectures are available in the video section of this site. In 2013 the second edition included a larger number of speakers. In 2014 came the opening for oral presentations and posters, from the general theme of the event: Vectors and inventions. The challenge was to identify the vectors that point to the future and inventions that build the same future. The SIIMI is a space for discussion and presentation proposals, products and research in interactive media.

In 2016, inaugurating the two-year phase of the event, the SIIMI adopts the general theme IGNITION, proposing discuss the driving force of movements that alter possibilities.

IGNITION points to strength, energy, first, friction, motion, spark. The event promises to be a new experience, inviting everyone to be in ignition.
