<abstract><p>The ACM SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group on Graphics) hosts a conference yearly in which the
latest and greatest in computer graphics premier. They record video and as a result produce a
very nice Video Review of the conference. Come join us watching these videos, as well as a
few professors from the UW Computer Graphics Lab. There will be some kind of food and drink,
and its guranteed to be dazzling.
<abstract><p>The combination of computer graphics, geometry, and rapid
prototyping technology has created a wide range of exciting
opportunities for using the computer as a medium for creative
expression. In this talk, I will describe the most popular
technologies for computer-aided manufacturing, discuss
applications of these devices in art and design, and survey
the work of contemporary artists working in the area (with a
focus on mathematical art). The talk will be primarily
non-technical, but I will mention some of the mathematical
