Intel Corporation is celebrating their anniversary today by looking 40 years in the past and 40 years into the future by unveiling the World Mural Project, a digital artwork that captures the vision of young people on how computers will transform the globe over the next 40 years. "Intel has a 40-year history of serial technology breakthroughs and innovation," said Intel CEO and President Paul Otellini. "When we introduced the microprocessor no one could have predicted that the market for PCs would be greater than 350 million units a year. Over the next 40 years Intel technology will be at the heart of breakthroughs that solve the big problems of health and environment. For Intel this is just the beginning of its journey." The World Mural Project is a Web-based digital art piece that includes visual and written contents from the Intel Computer Clubhouse Network – a worldwide after-school community-based technology learning program that enables youth in underserved communities to acquire skills necessary for personal and professional success. Working closely with about 300 Intel volunteers at 70 Clubhouses around the world, more than 500 young people in 21 countries submitted graphic design "tiles" that were incorporated into an overall mural design. The project weaves together the individual submissions into one expansive digital mural. Intel engaged renowned digital muralist Favianna Rodriguez to oversee the creative process and provide guidance to the project. Common themes represented in the mural include the trend toward smaller, more mobile computing, green technology that improves the environment, more responsive technology in health care and education, and virtual travel. |
