PUBLICATIONS

CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: SIGGRAPH 2010 ART PAPERS AND ART GALLERY
SIGGRAPH 2010, in collaboration with Leonardo/ISAST, seeks papers  
that illuminate and explore how people understand the changing roles  
of artists and art-making in our increasingly networked, multi- 
sensory, online world. Accepted papers will be featured in a special  
issue of Leonardo which will be published in conjunction with the  
SIGGRAPH 2010 conference. SIGGRAPH is also looking for exceptional  
works of art, completed in the last two years, by artists who  
physically engage technology in their creative process. The aim is to  
gather a compelling and varied group of creative projects that relate  
to the SIGGRAPH 2010 Art Gallery theme, "TouchPoint: The Haptic  
Exchange Between Digits." Find out more
