NICOGRAPH has the history of more than quarter-century. Its
foundation can be traced back to NICOGRAPH 1985. The time-honored
annual conferences have been organized by the Society for Art and
Science since 2000, which aims to promote the research topics
combining science and art in computer graphics and related fields as
well as to advance the development of interactive media art.

In 2002 the first international conference NICOGRAPH International
2002 rose out of the domestic series, and since then NICOGRAPH
international conference has been organized annually. The
international conference mainly aims to provide good opportunities for
young researchers and students to present their works in English and
exchange ideas with young colleagues from countries all over the
world. Through this activity, the organizing committee and supporting
members hope to raise the next generation leaders in the
interdisciplinary field combining academy, art and industry.

Topics of the conference include the following keywords,
but not be limited to:
Computer Graphics, Arts Contents, Multimedia, Virtual Reality,
Interactive Arts, Video Game, Design Contents, Web Design, Movie Production.
