SIG: Science, technology and animation
Convenor:
Michael J. Meindl, Radford University
Description:
The Science, Technology, and Animation (STA) SIG focuses on the intersections of animation, science, and technology. It aims to serve both practitioners and scholars. The SIG provides a virtual space for communication and helps to develop panels for the annual SAS conference, as well as other events. Topics for discussion and such include, but are not limited to: development of new technologies; historical uses/appropriations of specific technologies or scientific processes; animators as inventors, technicians, scientists, etc.; representation of technology and/or science in animated works; how technologies affect our definition of animation.
