CSIG-VIS International Lecture Series 12
    Prof. Angus Forbes | Creative Explorations in Visual Computing


    Speaker: Prof. Angus Forbes

    Associate Professor, University of California, Santa Cruz

    Topic: Creative Explorations in Visual Computing

    Time: Mar. 10, 2022 9:00-10:30 am(China Standard Time)

    Abstract: In this talk, I introduce recent projects from UC Santa Cruz's Creative Coding Lab that explore the visualization of scientific datasets, the use of machine learning to facilitate computer graphics rendering, and the development of biologically-inspired algorithms to support data science. In addition to providing an overview of a range of visualization tools, I will present interactive data art projects and discuss ways in which creative exploration can lead to new research insights.

    Speaker Bio: Dr. Angus Forbes is an Associate Professor in the Computational Media Department at University of California, Santa Cruz, where he directs the UCSC Creative Coding Lab. His research investigates novel techniques for visualizing and interacting with complex scientific information, and his interactive artworks have been featured at museums, galleries, and festivals throughout the world. From 2013 through 2017, he chaired the IEEE VIS Arts Program (VISAP), a forum that promotes dialogue about the relation of aesthetics and design to visualization research. He also helps to organize ACM SIGGRAPH, serving as the SIGGRAPH Arts Papers chair in 2018 and the SIGGRAPH Arts Gallery chair in 2021.
