FSE+Ex  #SIGGRAPH2014

The theme of the SIGGRAPH 2014 Art Gallery is Acting in Translation.

Translation, as a term and as a tool, generates plenty of potential disconnected trajectories for art production. These fields have the ability to cover and merge with other fields of knowledge, including global and local societal developments such as resistance movements, alternative economies, information leaks, migration flows, and mobility - all processed by the works in the Art Gallery.

Job Fair Participants (as of 6 June) 52

FSE+Ex  #SIGGRAPH2014

The Job Fair is absolutely the best place at SIGGRAPH 2014 for employers to meet with thousands of job seekers from around the globe!

Once again, Job Fair Exhibitors will be posting their jobs on the CreativeHeads.net and ACM SIGGRAPH job boards one month prior to the conference. This allows SIGGRAPH 2014 attendees to connect with employers before the conference, during the conference via the Job Fair, and after the conference via the CreativeHeads.net job board and candidate profiling system.

CreativeHeads.net provides the most comprehensive recruitment software solution for the VFX, animation, video game, TV, film, and 3D technology and software tools industries, for employers searching for talent or job seekers looking to secure the “right” job.
