Week 2 Assignment/Part 2: ACM SIGGRAPH

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) is known as the world's first and largest computing society. A special interest group within ACM is known as ACM SIGGRAPH, a community of researchers, artists, developers, filmmakers, scientists, and business professionals who share an interest in computer graphics and interactive techniques.

ACM SIGGRAPH brings people together both physically at events and on-line with a hope to invent, inspire those who are working within the field of computer graphics and interactive techniques.

Although this is not a gallery, museum, or institution, it is a fascinating community of people who are passionate about what they do with media and technology and want to share it with others. I also like the idea of bringing together not just artists, but a vast variety of creative people.

ACM SIGGRAPH is best known for their two annual conferences.

Other examples of events sponsored or co-sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH include:

i3D 2015
A conference for real time 3D computer graphics, games, and human interaction.

PerMln 15
A conference on perception and machine intelligence.

FMX 2015
A conference on animation, effects, games and transmedia.
