Siggraph 06: Pharmaceuticals for the 21st Century

I attended one day of SIGGRAPH 2006 this week, to check out the latest in graphics. The most exciting portion of the conference (for me) was the Emerging Technologies area, where there were more exciting demos than one person can possibly digest in a day. A lot of the stuff was truly amazing to see (and feel). I had never attended SIGGRAPH before and the conference lived up to its reputation for being a showcase of creative and generally crazy technology.

I took a few pictures and a video of some of the things that caught my eye. First one the list, "Pharmaceuticals for the 21st Century." This was a satirical art installation making a comment about the advertising techniques of the pharma industry and the political climate of conformity in the US. Here's a photo of the artist's description and of two of the "ads" for drugs that will certainly make America a better place. ;)

Yes, I admit, this has nothing to do with "crazy" technology, but it caught my eye at the conference, so I'm blogging about it! Next up, something totally cool....
