The ATC has partnered with The High Performance Computing, Education and Research Center (formerly the Albuquerque High Performance Computing Center or AHPCC), an advanced high performance computing center. This past year, an Artist-In-Residence program entitled: Cultural Practice / Virtual Style: Creating an Arts Environment in High Performance Computing hosted by the ATC and housed at the HPCERC was funded by the National Endowment for the Arts and the Rockefeller Foundation. The facilities open to artists at the HPCERC include state of the art supercomputers, a visualization lab that supports 3-D imaging, and the AccessGRID, and Internet 2 network of 100 + nodes throughout the world. For more information on the visualization lab at HPCERC, check out the lab's web page. You may also view a demo of Flatland, an open source program developed at the lab to create content for virtual spaces by clicking on the Flatland image below.
