ICICTE 2016 Awards
Each
year the International Conference on Information Communication
Technologies in Education gives out a number of awards to those
who contribute in an important way to the success of the
conference, as well as to winners of its Graduate Student Paper
Prize, Poster Session, etc.
True to
the conference's constant endeavoring to foster creativity and
reward excellence in ways that motivate, for the fifth year the awards
will be original works of art created by Danish artist Marie Louise Kold. Each work is made up of a serigraphically patterned,
individually patinated square of copper mounted on a varnished,
black, wood backdrop. The image reproduced here is an example of
the type of work being awarded.
The
artist, Marie Louise Kold, has made a name for herself
internationally with her ability to imbue metals with an
emotional charge that turns them into art.
She has
developed a technique of her own, which has its roots in the
tradition of copper printing. She etches, prints and paints on
copper, brass and bronze, so that the metal itself becomes the actual art object. She
also patinates metals using different types of chemicals, so
each work is entirely unique.
The
backdrops for the ICICTE 2014, ICICTE 2015 and ICICTE 2016 websites are from details
of
Marie Louise Kold's works of etched and patinated copper.
