Pictoplasma NYC 2013, Conference on Contemporary Character Design

The fourth annual Pictoplasma NYC Conference, focusing on the world of character design & art, takes place February 8 & 9, 2013 at the Tishman Auditorium at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. The conference will feature speakers from the world of character design, as well as screenings and performances. The event was originally set for last November, however it was postponed due to Hurricane Sandy.

The PICTOPLASMA NYC CONFERENCE once more stages the world’s leading and largest celebration of contemporary character culture, with a dense, two day program of inspiring artist presentations, conference lectures, animation festival and performances!
The event’s unique mix of screenings, talks, presentations and parties has proven to be immensely inspiring, while the lively exchange between the various disciplines highlights the importance of contemporary characters in today’s global visual understanding.
