ON THE SPOT!
What is your favorite work of art at SIGGRAPH?
by Cow Lauterbach
31 July 2003
This year’s SIGGRAPH immerses attendees
in art while giving them more to do then just what is at the
conference center. Here
are what some people said about whether they were able to make
the off-site art events and about their favorite works at the
converence center..
 |
"I was
unable to attend any of the off site art events due to there
being very little information about them. I found out about
a few of the events by overhearing whispers but by then it
was to late to attend. I found the scientific visualization
works of art located in the animation screening room to be
my favorite."
-Bonnie
Kane,
computer graphic artist / musician / programmer

“No, I couldn’t attend any art events that
are not at the convention center because I only just arrived
at SIGGRAPH today (Wednesday) and am only able to stay for
the day before returning home. My favorite works of art at
SIGGRAPH are a photomontage by Kaye Clark and some of the sculptures
that look as if a computer had carved them. I also like how
the art gallery is in the hallways this year.”
– Barbara
Ellison, associate technical director |
 |
"I will be attending one of the SIGGRAPH
art events in town later today (Wednesday). I have no favorites
yet because I am saving the art gallery for later.”
– Marilyn
McDonald, sales/marketing |
 |
"No, I’m too busy
working at my company’s booth. My favorite art exhibit
is a bunch of self portraits by the hot pretzel stand.”
– Mike
LaPan, marketing coordinator

"No, I have no time to travel into town.
I am here at SIGGRAPH for the Courses and Papers. The wall
of mist being used as a monitor screen at the Emerging Technologies
is my favorite art piece.”
– Anonymous, r&d dngineer
|
 |
“No, I’m not
much into art. The freaky technical stuff at Emerging Technologies.”
– Otavio
Good, programmer / founder, Secret Level

"No, I drove from Anaheim, so I have no time to attend the
art events in town. There are a lot of interesting things
to see and the people who created the art along with those
that set up the gallery should be proud because their hard
work shows.”
– Catherine Walter, chief financial
officer

“No, too many time constraints
and the art events overlapped other SIGGRAPH events I want
to see. I am disappointed that I missed the art events on
Sunday. I really like the range of artwork that’s on
display from the work hanging on the wall to the interactive
pieces and animation work. The whole continuum is impressive.”
– Philip
Sanders, artist / educator / professional

Yes, I attended the Sake Barrel party on
Sunday night. I plan to spend all Thursday looking at the
art exhibits, while the rest of the week I will spend looking
at the technology of SIGGRAPH. I really enjoy the electronic
interactive art.”
– Rob King, PhD
candidate

"I have gone to some of the closer in town
events, however I regret not going to more of the events
on Sunday afternoon. I liked how the art gallery is out and
mixed in with the rest of SIGGRAPH this year.”
– Cynthia
Beth Rubin, digital artist
