Call for help documenting 1982,83 SIGGRAPH art shows

As part of the Leonardo collaboration with SIGGRAPH this year,
we are pleased to bring to your
attention the 25th anniversary of the first juried art show at SIGGRAPH
in 1982. ( there were several art shows at siggraph before then, but non
juried)

Copper Giloth, chair of the 82 artshow, has been working with a team
of students from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst
and Amherst Regional High School to compile documentation on
a web site at

http://people.umass.edu/sig82art

Also they are beginning to document the 1983 art show , the chair
was: [log in to unmask]

Looking Back 25 Years: Siggraph'82 Art Show

25 years ago, ACM Siggraph sponsored its first juried public
exhibition of experimental two-dimensional, three-dimensional,
interactive and time-based works by artists and scientists
experimenting with computer graphics technologies. Prior to the 1982
Art Show several informal art shows had taken place in the late 1970's
and in 1981 Darcy Gerbarg curated the 1981 Siggraph Art Show.  The
popularity of the previous shows convinced the Siggraph organization
to fund the 1982 open competition.


As chair of the Siggraph'82 Art Show, Copper Giloth had been the
keeper of the documents slides and videotapes from this exhibition. In
the fall of 2007, five senior art students in her Information Design
course at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, Zinj Guo, Dana
Ramponi, Jen Zolga, Lindsay Weber, and Vesna Vrankovic, reviewed these
materials. The students' task was to inventory and organize these
primary resource materials and devise a strategy for making them
available to the community. The slide set, exhibition catalog and
artist interviews were their only resources as they began collecting
images of all the artwork in the show.  They created an artist
database to track materials on hand and what was missing, and then
used online resources and direct contact with artists to acquire
additional images and documents related to the exhibition. Using this
data, they designed and constructed a Web site documenting the
exhibition.

Amherst Regional High School seniors, Beryl Gilothwest and Lexi
Abrams-Bourke, are finalizing and correcting the data on the site.

http://people.umass.edu/sig82art

All of the students working on this project are between 21 and 23 in
age; they were not even born at the time of this exhibition. Most of
them didn't know the term "frame buffer". Their generation has grown
up with small compact computers, sophisticated graphics software as
well as accessible and cheap printing. They are accustomed to seeing
high-resolution synthetic images in movies and videogames. Most of
them collect images with a digital camera or the camera in their cell
phones.  In the 25 years since this exhibition both the vocabulary for
describing the technology and the tools used to make most of the works
from the show have changed dramatically. Thus the very process of
making the site confirmed the need to document the history of computer
art.

In the end, the purpose of the Web site is to make an accurate
representation of the show available to the community through the
inclusion of images of all works in the exhibition including, plotter
drawings, serigraphs, books, sculptures, murals, videos, drawings,
Ektachrome, Cibachrome and Polaroid prints and frame buffer display.
The Web site also includes the exhibition catalog, documentation of
the interactive installations, excerpts of interviews with 20 artists
from the show, articles about the exhibition, artists' statements and
other original documents.

1. Rick Balabuck and Michael Collery
