Tour of SIGGRAPH 2008 Expo center and art exhibits

13 Comments   Published by Tim Formica [Room335] on August 18th, 2008 in 3D News, SIGGRAPH

I put together a video tour of the SIGGRAPH 2008 Expo and some of the electronic art to try a give those of you who have never experienced SIGGRAPH a taste of it. The Expo is like a one giant collage of colors and sounds of technology. A place where art and technology collide. The video opens with a walk through some of the vendor exhibits in the early morning before most of the people arrive. It later then comes alive with the buzz of the exhibitors and attendees followed with some of the art.

    Class, Unfortunately I lost a lot of video due to a bad recording setting on my part.

    For 3D enthusiasts, Siggraph must really be a sight to behold.

    I wish I could be there too… :)

    Tim

    Oh no – ah well I also totally forgot to do more images. Man the show went by so fast….

    I was quite busy at the Studio Booth.

    But it was fun – I showed a jewelry artist some digital 3d work (displacement mapping modeling) for her jewelry bracelet print and CNC machining.

    Ysvry,

    Those sculptures were h I dont think 3D printed.

    They were huge. The design village had 3D printed work Architecture and abstract.

    The Japanse booth was nice (had the best Sake) but the sculptures were playing a terrible woman scream voice for 5 days. Argh …

    I felt like the mars aliens in Mars Attacks.
