Back from a long journey
After 12 hours of traveling, I am back in Philadelphia. Last week I was in Boston for the SIGGRAPH Conference. Despite the fact that I had to work three 10 hour days, I ended up seeing a few things that interested me.
I saw 4 interactive dance performances. All the pieces had elements that I want to include in my piece; however, as I was watching them, I kept thinking to myself, “That’s great that the dancer can interact with this text from a poem, but WHY?” With my piece I hope to be able to use the technology to help get my concept across better rather then just using technology because it looks cool.
Other notable events that week: I got my teapot from the Pixar booth and went to the Red Sox game. The Sox lost (Yanks are ahead now), but I got on TV!!
