The exhibition runs through to Sunday 23rd February 2003.
Take one artist, born and bred in Singapore. Add one childhood steeped in make-believe and the sundry visual inputs and experiences of 24 years. Wrap it up in the petite package of Angeline Seah, seal with a fertile imagination and simmer. The resulting imaginary wonderland is Simplicity, Angie’s first solo exhibition of ceramics, drawings, paintings and collages. The 2D and 3D work both show the inventive and almost childlike hand of the artist, with irregular outlines and outlandish perspectives. Yet closer examination reveals an expert draughtsmanship, a sure sense of line and an acute eye for detail, overshadowed perhaps by a youthful exuberance that takes inspiration from sources as diverse as wings, antennas and Yemeni architecture. Although Angie has dubbed her imaginary world a Simpli-city, her creations form a burgeoning metropolis, a complex gestalt of activity and dynamism that constitutes her art practice.

CALL FOR VIDEOS AND MULTIMEDIA
Videos are sought for the 12th Annual Video Review of Computational
Geometry. This video review showcases the use of visualization in
computational geometry for exposition and education, as an interface and
a debugging tool in software development, and for the visual exploration
of geometry in research. Algorithm animations, visual explanations of
structural theorems, descriptions of applications of computational
geometry, and demonstrations of software systems are all appropriate.
Videos that accompany papers submitted to the technical program
committee are encouraged.
This year the video review is experimenting with interpreting "video"
broadly as any form of multimedia that can be rendered visually over
time. In addition to the standard notion of videos (moving picture and
sound), we allow submissions of PowerPoint animations, Java applets, and
limited forms of other computed programs that generate video. These
programs must have a "demo mode" that requires no interaction (after
e.g. pressing a "demo" button) and demonstrates the program
automatically. Audio can be generated by the program itself (e.g.,
PowerPoint animations can have a voice-over), or specified by a separate
track. We prefer that such submissions are accompanied by standard
videos, but when such preparation is difficult for the authors, the
video rendering will be prepared by the video committee. All of these
nonstandard arrangements must be coordinated with the video chair at
least two weeks prior to submission.
Accepted videos will be collected onto a DVD and distributed to
attendees of the conference. The conference proceedings will include a
submitted one- or two-page textual description of each video. In
addition, authors will have the opportunity to give short presentations
about accepted videos, how they were made, and brief background. These
presentations will be interleaved with the showing of the videos during
a video review session at the conference.
Important Dates
Fri, February 7, 2003 Video submissions due
Fri, February 21, 2003 Notification of acceptance or rejection of videos
Sat, March 15, 2003 Video abstracts due
Fri, April 4, 2003 Final versions of videos due
June 8-10, 2003 Symposium
Video Submission
Submissions are due by February 7, 2003. We strongly encourage
electronic submission of videos. Electronic submissions should be in
MPEG-2 format, although other arrangements can be made with the video
chair. Specific requirements on encoding, instructions for preparing
submissions, and methods of submission are being detailed on the
following webpage:
http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~edemaine/SoCG2003_multimedia/
Arrangements for nonelectronic submissions must be made at least two
weeks prior to the deadline with the video chair.
Each video must be accompanied by a one- or two-page description of the
material shown in the video, and where applicable, the techniques used
in the implementation. References to additional material describing the
contents of the videos, such as accompanying papers, are encouraged.
Please format the descriptions following the guidelines for ACM
proceedings. The descriptions should be submitted electronically by
e-mailing a PostScript or PDF file to the video chair. If electronic
submission is impossible, authors should mail seven hardcopies of the
description to the video chair:
