A History of Computer generated animation – the View from Siggraph.

Thursday 23 August 5pm

The Siggraph Festival is one of the largest and most important gatherings for the digerati. Convened annually in giant conferences centres in US cities, it addresses every aspect of the creative digital space. Siggraph saw the wave of CG animation coming long before most of us even saw the ripple. Running for 30 years, Siggraph has grown to the enormous event that it is today. The Siggraph archive is the ideal place to go looking for a collection of digitally animated pieces to define the progress of this artform. A single programme from such a wellspring of material could hardly be definitive or comprehensive but it definitely provides a fascinating insight into the history of CG animation.
