The organizers of FlashBelt have launched a new conference for 2011, called “eyeofestival”.

Get it? “Eye” and “O” strung together … as in I/O, or input/output … well, at least that’s what I think it means … you get the visual part (the eye), plus the I/O for data. So one might deduce it’s a data visualization conference.

After looking at the speakers and topics, it’s more than that. It’s a visual arts conference.

“eyeo brings together the most creative coders, designers and artists working today, and shaping tomorrow – expect an amazing three days of talks, labs, demos & events fueled by the people and tools that are transforming digital culture.
converge to inspire.”

If you’re into Processing, Flash, OF, or any other physical computing or data visualization tools, I can’t see how you wouldn’t be interested in this conference.

It’s scheduled for June 25-29, 2011 in Minneapolis, MN. You can find out more information at the website.

Tickets aren’t on sale quite yet, but are supposed to be within the next month.

Check tabs on the conference by joining the facebook page, or the twitter account (@eyeofestival).

“Write once, deploy to many” is an interesting problem, and lots of folks are trying to find ways to solve it. Here’s a relatively new entry called Particle I caught on Demo.
