VIRTOOLS™ Supports the Digital Arts with its Partnership with ART 3000 Workshop

VIRTOOLS announces its partnership with the ART 3000 Workshop as a valuable means of supporting artists working in the digital arts. As publishers of interactive 3D software solutions, VIRTOOLS hopes to promote new media creation by putting its authoring tool VIRTOOLS Dev 2.0 into the hands of artists in residence at the ART 3000 Workshop.

The ART 3000 Workshop was founded in 1993 and was the first independent organization in France to explore real-time systems and virtual reality. The Workshop provides artists with an opportunity to investigate innovative software and investigate the possibilities they offer. Over 20 artists have benefited from the Workshop's direct support, producing over 30 works, 15 of them based on real-time interactive systems that have been exhibited in France and abroad.
