30th Anniversary Reception Demos

Demos will be presented in NCSA 1005 and 2103 from 4:30-6:00pm on Friday, September 16.

Donna Cox and members of the Advanced Visualization Lab will present demos from their recent work, including excerpts from films “Solar Superstorms,” “Super Tornado: Anatomy of a Megadisaster” and several others.

Mike Junokas, Illinois Informatics Ph.D. Student advised by Prof. Guy Garnett, will present a collaboration with visiting simulation developer Greg Kohlburn an interactive multi-media ecology demo titled “to me…,as if i’ve heard before.” This is the second in a series of multi-media art installations that incorporate the observer’s movement into a visual and sonic atmosphere, creating a dynamic, feedback artistic ecology. By gathering and analyzing a variety of movement features, elements of the installation “react” to the observer, relaying imagery and audio throughout the environment. As the observer moves and reacts within the space, they become integrated directly with the visual and aural elements, creating responsive feedback ecology.
