Visualization
The student-run event highlights the best work in art, animation, game design, graphic design and research at the Rudder Complex.
Themed Entertainment (VIST 489), which will be offered in the fall, has been developed by Joel Zika, Ph.D., assistant professor in virtual production.
“History in the Making: Reconstructing Early Modern Textiles and Clothing” featured hands-on activities including experimenting with fabric dyes and stamp patterns.
The festival continues Saturday and Sunday at Rudder Forum with speaker presentations and screenings of student short films.
The conference continues tomorrow with speaker presentations in the Liberal Arts and Arts & Humanities Building.
The students were invited to present their works on March 19 in an event titled “Stories in the Age of AI” by Jinsil Hwaryoung Seo, Ph.D., associate dean for research and creative works and professor in the Visualization program.
Among the highlights in the three-day event are a free screening and Q&A with director Boots Riley on Friday; in-person and virtual appearances by former Visualization students Brad Graeber and Clara Chan on Saturday; and a screening of student films on Sunday.
Chan will make a virtual appearance at MSC Aggie Cinema’s Howdywood Film Festival on Saturday to discuss her career and her experiences in leading visual effects teams.
See the work of Visualization graduate students at the James R. Reynolds Gallery in the Memorial Student Center through Feb. 28.
