<div>Monday, May 12, 2014 / 4:00 PM</div><div>McCune Conference Room Humanities and Social Science Building</div><div><br></div><div>In the 20th century, film became a pervasive form of media. Many technologies aided this spread, including computer generated images (CGI). In this talk, I look back at the genesis of CGI, examine their present state (including my own research), and try to extrapolate into the future. What did CGI enable that would otherwise have been impossible? Was it democratizing or plutocratizing? Have we already seen everything that CGI can do? What will movies look like in 100 years?</div>
