Special Sessions
Jun 1, 2006 12:00 PM
Chair: Josh Strickon,New York Times Company
Sure to be a highlight in Boston are this year’s Special Sessions. Chairperson Josh Strickon decided early on that his sessions, although fewer in number, would be grander in scheme. Sessions were designed around specific themes and will not only focus on the film industry, but also reflect the balance of SIGGRAPH as a whole, including art, sci-viz, and design.
"While the expectation of the community may have been to see a Pixar Cars session," Strickon says, "I took it one step further to create a session that will include not only work from Pixar, but also real car designers."
Concepts of the other three sessions include a performance session tied to the art community, an oceanography session targeting the sci-viz sector, and a voice talent session for the film industry. But, all sessions are sure to have appeal to general audiences.
