> SIGGRAPH 95 PANEL TO DISCUSS THE ART OF VIRTUAL REALITY
>
> Los Angeles, CA - June 19, 1995
>
> Virtual Reality promises artists the most exciting break-through for the
> creative process since the invention of motion pictures. But is anybody
> actually using these tools for aesthetics and personal expression?
>
> To answer this question, a panel discussion entitled "AESTHETICS & TOOLS
> IN THE VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENT" has been scheduled to take place at the 22nd
> International Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques,
> better known as SIGGRAPH 95.
>
> This panel will bring together five leading artists working on the cutting
> edge of immersive experience as art form. These pioneers will shed light on
> the subject using their own projects as point of departure for in depth
> discussion of this unexpected paradigm shift that leaves the art world
> reevaluating itself.
>
> All panel members are currently active in the creation of immersive three-
> dimensional art experiences intended for real-time Virtual Reality systems.
>
> This event will take place on Thursday, August 10, 1995 from 10:30 a.m.
> until 12:15 p.m. SIGGRAPH 95 runs from August 6-11 at the Los Angeles
> Convention Center. Conference attendance is expected to exceed 30,000.
