Here's something for those of us interested in the artistic aspects of computer graphics. I'm posting this on the micro list as well as the usual graphics lists because I understand that there might be a few micro systems (don't hold me to this) available to show how artists and designers have used these smaller systems. I believe the call for art and design work may still be open. If your interested in participating as an artist, designer, graphics hak, attendee read on... Los Angeles Chapter ACM/SIGGRAPH THE ARTIST, THE DESIGNER, AND COMPUTER GRAPHICS Pasadena, California... The Artist, The Designer, and Computer Graphics Showcase will be held Saturday and Sunday, October 30 and 31 at the Art Center College of Design. The two-day showcase will give creative artists and designers a change to experience the latest in computer graphics in the elegant setting of the country's leading design college: The Art Center. The event is sponsored by the Los Angeles Chapter of ACM/SIGGRAPH, (Association for Computing Machinery/Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics), and in cooperation with the National SIGGRAPH Organization, Los Angeles Chapter of the IEEE Computer Society, and the Alumni Association of the Art Center of Design. The leading edge of computer graphics technology represented at this showcase will likely make this the most significant computer graphics art and design event of the year. Two of the eminent speakers will be John Whitney Sr., innovator of 'split-scan' special effects for film and the author of "Digital Harmony"; and Ed Emshwiller, renowned for experimental graphic effects in video at N.Y.I.T. and currently Dean at the California Institute of the Arts. Also represented are Robert Abel & Associates, Evans and Sutherland, Information International Inc., and Jim Blinn of Jet Propulsion Laboratory, instructor at Art Center, consultant to Lucas Films Ltd. and creator of computer animation for the PBS Cosmos series. Intimate technical sessions will provide interactive contact and hands-on demonstrations. The latest in contemporary computer artwork will be on exhibit at the Art Center Atrium. One of the highlights of the showcase will be the film and video festival. Barrowing a TRON phrase "It will remind you of something you've never seen before!"
