Projects

CANVAS runs a number of new applications each month which are controlled by a kiosk that enables the general public to select and run any application of their choice.

There is currently a World-Wide Call for Entries for the Winter 2006 show in the CANVAS entitled "ICONS." Please see http://www.canvas.uiuc.edu/events/icons/icons-call.html for details.

Proposals

If you are interested in creating your own CANVAS application, please check the http://www.isl.uiuc.edu website and look at the Syzygy information. Syzygy is the operating system that the CANVAS runs on. You need to know C++ and OpenGL and should have the VIsual C++ compiler. You can also create Python code. Details are on the aforementioned website.

Please submit any proposals for work in the CANVAS to Rose Marshack at rose2000@uiuc.edu.
