Art and Animation
AG2009 will once again host an Art and Animation Gallery, featuring artistic
works and animations
produced using computer graphics. The gallery provides a unique opportunity
for up and coming
artists, animators and scientists to display their work using visually
pleasing and stimulating
techniques. The Gallery is a platform for artists in computer graphics to
present their work to
peers in the field, exchange ideas and network with potential employers.
Categories of the Gallery are as follows:
. Image Stills: Artwork is to be submitted as an image still, and may be of
any topic
provided the work is produced using techniques in the field of computer
graphics and animation.
Prints of the work are to be displayed in the Gallery, for the entire
duration of the conference.
. Animations: Animation clips may be submitted in this category, and a
special viewing
session will be held for the entries. Clips may contain storylines, or
demonstrate techniques in
computer graphics.
All contributions (artwork and animations) must be accompanied by a one page
description
of the work, as well as an indication of the techniques used to achieve the
final piece.
Artwork and animations will be reviewed by the conference organisers and
voluntary reviewers
from academia and industry. Pieces will be judged using the following
criteria:
. Ingenuity of the techniques employed (specifically related to computer
graphics);
. Aesthetics;
. Creativity;
. Overall impression.
All submitted works will be displayed in the Gallery, and awards will be
made for the top entries
in each category. In addition, the one page abstract of the winners will be
published in the
conference proceedings.
Important Dates
. Intention to submit an artwork (one page description of artwork): 3
October 2008
. Artwork submission deadline: 17 October 2008
. Notification of acceptance: 31 October 2008 (Note that the full sized
piece must
be provided by the artist before or at registration for display in the
Gallery)
. Animation submission deadline: 17 October 2008
. Notification of acceptance: 31 October 2008
Posters
Candidates who have only just begun a research project in Computer Graphics
or
Computer-Human Interaction are encouraged to participate in the AG2009
Poster Session.
Posters are encouraged to be a visual abstract of the research project, and
participants
are challenged to produce works that are not only colourful and attractive,
but that also
clearly convey the scientific meaning of the research.
Important Dates
. Submission deadline: 17 October 2008
. Notification of acceptance: 31 October 2008 (Note that the full sized
poster must
be provided by the participant at registration for display at the Gallery).
Exhibition
The exhibition provides an opportunity for institutions from industry and
academia to advertise
their potential, and provide an opportunity for networking and recruiting in
the area of computer
graphics.
Academic Institutions with programs in computer graphics or animation, or
film/advertising/marketing
institutions that work with computer graphics are encouraged to participate
in the exhibition.
AG2009 offers a unique chance to review and recruit local talent, network,
and offer advice to up
and coming academics, scientists, artists and animators in the field of
computer graphics in
South Africa.
Requests for stall space at the exhibition can be made directly through the
Exhibition Chair.
Stall sizes, availability and registration costs are available on request.
Corporate Demo Reels
Participating organisations will also have the opportunity to present a demo
reel as part of
the Animation gallery.
Parties interested in providing sponsorship to AG2009 will automatically
receive exhibit space
(if required), and product/brand placement at the conference may be
negotiated. Interested
parties are encouraged to contact the Conference Chair.
