Imagine. Create. Innovate. Share
These are the words that jump to mind when I think about the artists, scientists, designers, and engineers whose scholarship is at the intersection of research, emerging technology, and the arts. At this intersection, ACM SIGGRAPH is the leading conference and Leonardo/ISAST is the leading journal. Both maintain the highest bar for peer-reviewed content and have a shared history spanning more than four decades.
