SIGGRAPH 2009 attendees, are free of charge, related to computer
graphics or interactive techniques, open to all SIGGRAPH 2009

Information Aesthetics Showcase
In recognition of the increasing role of information visualization and data graphics in digitally mediated culture, the Information Aesthetics Showcase at SIGGRAPH 2009 presents projects from visualization labs, medical-imaging groups, social-research non-profit organizations, design labs, museums, art programs, and new media centers. The Information Aesthetics Showcase includes 2D and 3D prints, interactive and presentational screen-based works, multimodal installation environments, and physical objects that reveal information.
In keeping with this year's theme, “Network Your Senses,” the works shown engage not only the visual, but also auditory, kinesthetic, and tactile modalities, says a representative. Presenters include computational journalists, visual and material artists, biological researchers and neuro-scientists, graphic designers, scientific visualization developers, historians, cultural theorists, and digital media center collaborators.
