2nd Pictoplasma Conference 2006
on contemporary character design and art


Talks, presentations, screenings, panel discussion and workshops will transform the Haus der Berliner Festspiele over the following three days into a character design Mecca.

The 20+ artists giving lectures include Nathan Jurevicius (AUS), Tim Biskup (USA), the pixel masters Eboy (Ger) and Rob Reger (USA), the inventor of Emily the Strange. Revisiting friends from the 1st Conference including Rinzen, Fons Schiedon, Furi Furi and Friends With You will fill us in on all their latest activities.

Panel talks will centre around the cultural relevance of character design: What images of the body are at stake? What is the relationship between character and narration? And do characters solve the mystery of the kidult generation?
