Driving the New Media Art experience

As CEDIA attendees will experience, high-end projection and Directview LED in the home create the opportunity for a digital canvas-particularly relevant in displaying New Media Art. As the New Media Art world continues to expand, Barco Residential, working with partner NIIO, is an industry leader in creating dialogue around how these pieces are experienced by art collectors and homeowners. In a recent article, Barco Residential Managing Director Tim Sinnaeve writes that 'the practical applications of New Media Art are only now surfacing, but the possibilities are bound only by imagination. At its heart, New Media Art provides an opportunity for an immersive entertainment and cultural experience, one that creates an emotional connection to the content.' It's that connection that Barco Residential is helping to forge with its solutions.

Barco Residential is the exclusive projection sponsor for the new Smart Stage

This year marks the introduction of the CEDIA Smart Stage, an area of the floor that will play host to two new programs, TechBites and TechTalks. TechBites is a chance for brands to share the latest news about their products and services in a rapid-fire setting-just a three minute pitch with a three minute Q&A to follow. TechTalks provides a longer form platform for a series of engaging and educational talks from tech experts. As the official projection sponsor, Barco will feature its state-of-the-art UDX and provide the stunning visuals throughout both programs.
