Last Tuesday, I briefly sat in on a discussion of the SIGGRAPH exhibit of computer graphics at the local De Anza Community College campus. It was an interesting discussion. Here's a brief summary of commentary: Lacking in any warmth or humanity. This is a problem not for the media, but for the people putting the stuff out (note: this includes works by the instructor of one of the classes which includes a classically trained artist) About interactive fiction and gaming: This is an area where the computer people in the audience were particularly proud. Comments: Not art. It's problem solving. Reminds people too much of work. Interfaces are poor (mice). There were a few other comments, but these were the significant ones. Eugene Miya
