Institutional Presentation Statement

Keywords: ACM, SIGGRAPH, computer graphics, interactive techniques, art, science, humanities, conference

This institutional presentation introduces the ACM SIGGRAPH Art Papers programs 2019 and 2020. The 2019 edition marks the 11th version of the program and our main goal is to highlight its principal novelties and projections onto 2020. At this occasion, we will discuss the main scientific and artistic contributions of art papers, but also different ways of accessing, experiencing, and enhancing the published content.

ACM SIGGRAPH stands for Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group Graphics; the annual SIGGRAPH conference is on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques.

• Everardo Reyes is Associate Professor in the Information Sciences Dept. at Université Paris 8, France. He is member of the Paragraphe Lab, collaborator of the Cultural Analytics Lab, and board member of the International Association for Visual Semiotics. His research investigates relationships between humanities, the arts, and computer sciences, particularly the graphical and interactive forms.
• Andrés Burbano is Associate Professor in the Department of Design at Universidad de los Andes, Colombia. Burbano holds a PhD in Media Arts and Technology from the University of California Santa Barbara, USA. Burbano, originally from Colombia, explores the interactions of science, art and technology in various capacities: as a researcher, as an individual artist and in collaborations with other artists and designers. The broad spectrum of his work illustrates the importance, indeed the prevalence, of interdisciplinary collaborative work in the field of digital art.
