Mississippi State will be the only Southeastern site to feature a national collection of computer-generated art.
The 1999-2000 SIGGRAPH Traveling Exhibition opens Thursday [Jan. 27] with a 7-9 p.m. public reception in the McComas Hall gallery. Sponsored by the university's art department, the exhibition will continue through Feb. 24.
Gallery hours are Monday-Friday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m.; Sundays, 1-4 p.m. Admission is free.
The tour is part of the Special Interest Group on Computer Graphics, whose membership develops a portable display from work shown at the international organization's annual conference.
The exhibition features some of the most recognized artists working in digital media. Among them are Penny Feuerstein of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, Mauro Annunziato of Rome, Yoichiro Kawaguchi of the University of Tokyo, and MSU assistant professor Anna M. Chupa, who teaches in the art department's graduate program in electronic visualization.
The exhibition is made possible through the financial support of SIGGRAPH chapters, including the recently established OK-SIGGRAPH organization representing the Starkville area.
