We sent our photographers to SIGGRAPH 2006, the five-day conference on digital art and computer graphics at the Boston Convention Center. At the conference, which runs through August 3, Joel Veak shot images ranging from synthetic lifeforms to touch-sensitive snowflakes to magnetic fluid sculpture, and Kristin Osiecki shot a fashion show which included platform shoes with a digital panel, a dress that dissolves in water, and clothes that record physical abuse.
