In Search of the Miraculous
"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
- Albert Einstein
Framed within the mystery of technology itself or the fascinations of a technologically mediated world, from unique interfaces to unique perspectives, the SIGGRAPH 2012 Art Gallery: In Search of the Miraculous, presents digital and technologically mediated artworks that reveal moments of wonderment.
Reception: Leonardo, Art Papers, and Art Gallery
TUESDAY, 7 AUGUST 2-3:30 PM | Art Gallery
Experience a sense of wonder in the digital era. Talk with the artists, designers, and Art Papers authors about their work. Meet the editors of Leonardo. And greet the members of the SIGGRAPH 2012 committee who organized this year's Art Gallery.
