Update from Kinetic Imaging: SIGGRAPH 2006
Associate Professor, Pam Turner and I (Rachele Riley) attended the 2006 SIGGRAPH conference in Boston, MA last week. The conference is a dynamic mix of artists, scientists and industry folks and the intersections were enlightening!
We hosted a reception for VCUarts alumni and the introduction of our MFA program in Kinetic Imaging. The event took place on Tuesday, August 1 at the Seaport Hotel. Below are some photos from the event.
