You are invited to the opening preview and reception of SIMPLICITY ANGiE SEAH's first solo exhibition of ceramics, collages, paintings and drawings Thursday 13th February 2003 7.30 pm Utterly Art Exhibition Space 208 South Bridge Road 2nd Level, Singapore 058757 Tel: 6226 2605 E-mail: utterlyart@pacific.net.sg Mon-Sat 11.30 am - 8 pm Sun 12 noon - 5.30 pm 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:
