SIGGRAPH 2001 Conference Programs/Activities
Art Gallery: N-Space
Experience a world-renowned exhibition of digitally based and
inspired artwork. Via N-Space, viewers travel to places where
ideas and expression are rich and artistic freedom is unconstrained
by dimension. The art embodies thoughts that go beyond labels
into an unlimited digital frontier, beyond the medium to a place
where it acts as a conduit for the message.
Computer Animation Festival 2001: A Digital Odyssey
The world's most prestigious film and video multiplex extravaganza,
showcasing dazzling and innovative imagery in invited and submitted
works selected by a distinguished jury of computer graphics
experts and specialists. Selections are presented in a multiplex
format of daily screenings in three Animation Theaters, and
in the Electronic Theater matinée and evening shows at
the Shrine Auditorium.
Courses
SIGGRAPH 2001 courses provide in-depth instruction on a variety
of topics. Courses range from introductory and refresher topics
to cutting-edge technologies that combine computer graphics
with other aspects of computing.
Creative Applications Lab
Join SIGGRAPH 2001 speakers and presenters for informal follow-up
sessions and a series of invited hands-on talks. Share critiques
and suggestions with other attendees. Enhance your skills and
insights. Post-session CAL activities are available for many
Courses, Papers, Panels, Sketches & Applications, and Educators
Program presentations. Artists and animators also use the CAL
to explain and discuss their work.
Educators Program
Rethink what "education" is. Join researchers, practitioners,
and educators to exchange ideas on innovative and creative uses
of computer graphics for learning. Experience a forum where
the edge between learning and doing disappears.
Emerging Technologies
How will you play today? Emerging Technologies features the
latest developing technologies that enable and promote play:
design and interactivity, robotics and display systems, prototypes
and collaborative endeavors in innovative applications of new
technologies and adventurous speculation.
Exhibition
The latest hardware, software, systems, and services from the
world's premiere suppliers of computer graphics and interactive
techniques. In Startup Park, first-time exhibitors display the
next generation of interactive graphics. See page 3 and the
Web site for a complete list of exhibitors.
Exhibitor Forums
In seminars and demos, companies present essential information
on new technologies and how to use them.
Keynote Address/Awards
Danny Hillis, chairman and chief technology officer of Applied
Minds, Inc. and co-chairman of The Long Now Foundation, presents
the SIGGRAPH 2001 keynote address.
Immediately before the keynote address, ACM SIGGRAPH presents
the 2001 Steven Anson Coons Award for Outstanding Creative Contributions
to Computer Graphics, the Computer Graphics Achievement Award,
and the Significant New Researcher Award.

system, and alternative) on the latest advances in computer
graphics, computer animation, computer games, Internet-based
imaging and graphics, robotics, audio, haptics, medicine, biology,
visualization, and related topics.
Panels
Activists, theorists, artists, engineers, and executives explore
the burning issues that are defining computer graphics and interactive
techniques today and tomorrow. After their presentations, panelists
confront questions from the audience.
Sketches and Applications
Short, informal presentations on advanced research, artistic
adventures, next year's technologies, production breakthroughs,
and non-idle speculation. Presenters preview the latest in concept,
design, and implementation in architecture, scientific visualization,
fine and performing arts, and entertainment.
SIGGRAPH TV
Video summaries of SIGGRAPH 2001 programs and events and visitor
services distributed throughout the convention center and on
SIGGRAPH 2001 shuttle buses.
Special Sessions
2001 in 2001: How a Completely Analog Film Inspired a Digital
Revolution
In 1968, Stanley Kubrick created a motion picture that defined
the future and our place in it. But his masterpiece did much
more. It defined an industry and inspired an era of filmmaking.
In this special session, Industry veterans and historians discuss
and assess "2001", its influence on today's films, and how its
influence will extend into the 21st century.
A Guided Tour of the New Silicon Senses
Sensory explorers describe a future where computing strategies
and digital devices enhance, heighten, and repair the human
sensorium. In The Silicon Senses' interactive area, the explorers
talk with attendees and demonstrate their technologies.
Virtual Stars
Animators and technical directors from Sony Pictures Imageworks
explain how they create digital photo-realistic actors for leading
roles in 21st-century films.
Masters of the Game
Winners of the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences 2001
Interactive Achievement craft awards present their work in game
design, game play engineering, character and story development,
art direction, visual engineering, animation, and sound design.
Web 3D RoundUp
The interactive event for interactive content. Web3D content
developers and toolmakers demonstrate the latest technology
and applications in a fast-paced shootout. The audience selects
the best of the best from over 25 pre-selected presenters.
The Studio
Where SIGGRAPH 2001 attendees collaborate with advanced digital
systems and each other to generate 2D and 3D creations. In this
year's special Studio event, the Digital Chef 2001, techno teams
compete to produce the most innovative output project. Throughout
SIGGRAPH 2001, The Studio hosts tutorial sessions.
