Create Chaos serves as a spark to ignite a new renaissance by bringing together creative professionals across industry boundaries including: graphic design, advertising, film and video production, animation, photography, printing, web, and publishing professionals.
Quotation from an Orlando Attendee
"Until recently, my goal has been to generate individual, high quality, still images, and the interactive software I have developed has been geared towards that purpose - an artist's tool that is a byproduct of the process, viewable only by myself. But in October of 2008, I participated in Create Chaos - a local conference for creative professionals - as a performer, using my software to create new artwork live. The response was very positive, and opened up a last minute performance opportunity with Troy, Julee, and Mason of MGFest. In the course of a day I made some changes to my code that completely revolutionized what I was seeing on the screen while using my software - suddenly, I was thinking about and playing with the principles of motion graphics design and time-based media. I also enjoyed and benefitted from the process of collaboration, both in the performances themselves and in discussions surrounding them. Based heavily on this experience, I have continued to develop my software in this new direction and look forward to seeing where this exploration takes me."
