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
