The Art Gallery welcomes submissions of printed, interactive, and
networked digital art in 2D, 3D, and 4D. The programme is especially
(but
not exclusively) encouraging artists to submit works that deal with
transformations, fusions, intersections, and paradigm shifts from
Asia.
The Art Gallery will facilitate an encounter with, and exchange
between,
different fields to showcase "hybrid" works such as space art in zero
gravity, text-literature visualisation, and ubiquitous sounds.
The deadline for submission to the SIGGRAPH Asia 2008 Art Gallery is
20
June 2008. Submit your work(s) now.
Computer Animation Festival

The Computer Animation Festival includes two main components:
1. The official Competition Programme, which is a juried selection of
"the
best of the best" amazing works that provide insight on current
international trends in computer-generated animation.
2. A special Curated Programme will showcase remarkable films, from
classics to experimental explorations of the latest technologies. This
special programme of short subjects and features presents an
