| [nettime-lat] Fwd: History of Computer Graphics and Art;Call forParticipation |
>Date: Sat, 15 Mar 2003 13:08:30 -0700 >To: [email protected] >From: Anna Ursyn <[email protected]> >Subject: History of Computer Graphics and Art;Call for Participation > > >History of Computer Graphics and Art -- Call for Participation > >The aim that guides this call is an intention to assemble a data bank of >computer graphics and art. The goal is to document the evolvement of >computer graphics, art, and the thought about art in relation to the >progress of technology, thus creating a collection of images and essays >created by artists, scientists, and people who influenced these >disciplines, which reflects the unfolding of computer art due to technical >achievements (hardware, software, languages, etc). With this approach, >computer art and graphics are related to the history of inventions in >concurrent periods of time. This treasury will be augmented by the >artists' web sites along with the existing materials cumulated in various >collections and will become a part of the ACM/ SIGGRAPH resources. There >is no sole comprehensive resource describing the influences and inventions >in computer graphics and computer art from a historical perspective. The >"Birds of a Feather" gathering at the ACM/ SIGGRAPH 2002, San Antonio, >Texas (organized by Anna Ursyn and Anne Morgan Spalter) generated a >helpful feedback to this project. > >Those who feel their work contributed to the field of computer graphics, >art, and the thought about art are requested to describe their areas of >action and accomplishments. Since this approach calls for interaction >between people representing various fields in the history of inventions, >we ask to participate anybody involved in the progress of these fields, >from software/hardware programmers to scientists and artists. Being a part >of this project may be interesting both on a personal level and because it >involves a great potential for new approaches in teaching and provides >materials for visual learning. It would be greatly appreciated if you >could forward this URL to anyone you feel could contribute to this project. > >This call and the release form is posted on the ACM/SIGGRAPH website: >http://www.siggraph.org/education/cgHistory/history.html > >-- Please send 3 images of your artistic/scientific creations, with >permissions and short statements (no more than 150 words). Both the low >resolution (72 dpi) and higher resolution (200, 300 dpi) images would be >appreciated for a data bank of computer graphics and art and possibly for >a publication. > >-- Please contribute to this project by filling out our questionnaire. >Answer as fully as you feel you have time for. Many various viewpoints are >valuable. Also, questions may be used as a guide for the essay describing >your contribution to the field, with visual thoughts which may be >considered "milestones" in various decades (no more then 400 words). Send >only what you own copyrights for and send it along with a signed release form. > >Your paper-signed permission is essential because researchers, educators, >students and all interested parties might use the resources for teaching, >reference, general reading, etc. > >Please send your materials on a CD Rom or a DVD, along with your contact >address (URL address cannot be accepted as a valid entry), and signed on >paper, dated permission forms at the address: > >Anna Ursyn, >Department of Visual Arts, >University of Northern Colorado, >Greeley, CO 80639, USA. > > > >Questionnaire > >Please answer the following questions. The goal is to create a resource >that conveys the interrelated histories of computer graphics and computer art. > >1. Describe your field. Why are you interested in Computer Art/ Computer >Graphics and what (event, need, idea, hope, obstacle) caused your >involvement? Summarize your line of development (the essence of your input >to the field) in relation to concurrent technology -- 100 words maximum. > >2. Does the computer allow you to think visually about some topic or >process in new ways? How has this influenced your work? Describe your >ultimate accomplishment. > >3. Has the field of computer art and graphics progressed in the ways that >you expected? What has surprised you? What do you like about its progress >and what do you wish had happened differently? What do you think the >future holds for visual computing in science/art? Please make some >predictions or wish lists for the near- and long-term future. > >4. Describe your dream environment for enhancing your project ideas. What >are your preferred tools for creating and how do they work? What tools >(hardware/software) you have used initially had the strongest impact on >your work? > >5. Describe how you think specific advancements in technology, such as >wireframe, hidden line removal, scanner, laser, HTML, Java applets, or any >other advancement determined the way the approaches to creating >art/graphics evolved? > >6. How would you characterize the milestones (every ten years) in >the development of computer technology? Which ones were most influential >in art/graphics? > >7. Which persons would you indicate as the pioneers in the particular >areas/stages in which decade? > >Please type the following: >Creator's Name: ____________________________________________________________ >Company Name (optional): _________________________________________________ >Address: _______________________________________________________________ > >City, State/Province Zip Code, and Country or Postal Code, City, and Country: > >______________________________________________________________________ > >E-mail address: _________________________________________________________ > >Web site: _____________________________________________________________ > >Phone: _______________________________________________________________ > >Fax: _________________________________________________________________ > >Titles of your works: > >1. > >2. > >3. > >========================================================= > >Permission Form > >Name and contact information >_____________________________________________________________________________ >_____________________________________________________________________________ >_____________________________________________________________________________ > >I, ____________________________________ grant permission to Anna Ursyn >to publish my statements and images/artwork (200-300 and 72 dpi) for a web >site display , a >CD-Rom,, immersive display and its library, and a publication (please feel >free to cross out whatever you do not grant permission for).
