Academy of Art University Students Win Awards at the Prestigious Space-Time Competition at SIGGRAPH 2007
San Francisco (PRWEB) July 1, 2007 -- Academy of Art University students from the digital arts school (http://www.academyart.edu/digital-arts-school/index.html) took home awards from the Space-Time Student Competition & Exhibition at SIGGRAPH 2007. Kyle Yugawa won first place for his project Verve and Molly Quan won one of the four Honorable Mentions for her project Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought both in the interactive category. This is the fourth year in a row that an Academy of Art University Graduate New Media student has taken the first place title at the Space-Time Competition.
Verve, Yugawa's MFA thesis, is a web tool that lets artists and musicians compose, orchestrate, and illustrate using sound, shape, and motion. According to the Verve website, the project "strives to mold techniques of painting/illustration, music, and kinetic performance into a single fluid process." It developed from his frustration as a new media designer to have to learn so many different applications and processes.
"SIGGRAPH is an international event with so much innovative projects being displayed, I was quite surprised and pleased to hear the news. It is great motivation to keep developing the project further," Yugawa said.
He found out about the competition through Lourdes Livingston, Director of Graduate School of Computer Arts (http://www.academyart.edu/computer-arts-school/index.html): New Media.
"I think that its great that she encourages students to enter their work into these competitions because it helps the give the students and the school the recognition it deserves," he said.
Space-Time is an internationally juried competition for students working in computer graphics and digital arts.
The exhibition showcases the state of artistic computer-based student work in the categories of print, animation, and interactive works.
The competition is held within SIGGRAPH 2007, the 34th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques, being held August 5-9 at the San Diego Convention Center.
