SIGGRAPH 2011: Technical Papers Fast Forward

Posted in: conferene, General, Industry, Siggraph, technology, Vancouver

Hi Motionographers! We’re at SIGGRAPH 2011, here in beautiful Vancouver. SIGGRAPH is the Association for Computing Machinery’s annual conference on computer graphics, where you can find the most recent academic research and commercial software/hardware developments for computer graphics and interactive technology. This year, upwards of 20,000 artists, research scientists, gaming developers, engineers, filmmakers, and academics have descended on the conference.

Check out our first dispatch on the Technical Papers Fast Forward event here. More Motionographer SIGGRAPH posts to come, including 3D scanning and printing as it relates to motion graphics, all about lenticular displays and building glasses-free 3D displays, and, of course, highlights from the Computer Animation Festival.

HOOD BY AIR SKID AN ORWELLIAN UNICORN INTO 2010.

Picture 2

A few years ago we played a skid party in Vancouver at a club called the Royal Unicorn (skids are the straight Vancouver equivalent of the NY banji scene which is essentially a bunch of lesbi-gays making awesome fashion / music / dance partiness. Does that make sense?). Anyway, the Royal Unicorn was an old massage parlor in Chinatown converted into a Karoake club. The same owners still ran the show and did very minor retrofitting to switch over from rubbing to singing which meant rather then being greeted by a bubbly clubgirl you instead paid the cover at the top of the stairs to a man behind a bulletproof glass window who sat in front of a bank of mini tvs that were linked to security cameras throughout the whole place. It was like partying in the future. Blade Runner style. This Hood By Air lookbook for 2010 is like a Blade Runner party at the Royal Unicorn circa 2025. Damn.

We don’t usually post up mixes at WMIG unless they are our own; BUT – with that being said – these 2 mixes became exception worthy as soon as the syrupy helicopters flew in at the top of the tape. The FADER folks sent this over from the Ladyhawke blog and we had instant flashbacks of last summer on the oaky yacht decks of Vancouver after late mornings at the Gorgomish. Download them here.
