PIXELvienna is the annual Austrian computer graphics and animation conference that takes place in Vienna . With an international perspective, discussions and workshops in all areas of computer graphics, PIXELvienna also presents the Siggraph Computer Animation Festival and the Pixel Battle & Party. The Austrian Computer Graphics Award will also be presented at the conference. Every year PIXELvienna invites well-known national and international computer graphic artists, computer game and computer film professionals to present their work.
The conference is organized by the Austrian association IG Computergrafik and is now regarded as the leading trade fair in Austria.
history
The first PIXEL congress took place at the Technical University of Vienna in 2006 and has been repeated annually since then. In 2014 the conference was renamed PIXELvienna to include Vienna as a location in the name and to avoid possible confusion with other conferences with similar names.
