While SIGGRAPH 2009 may still be a few months away (the first week of August in New Orleans), Conference Chair Ronen Barzel provides an exclusive sneak peek of this year's "Network Your Senses" theme, including more emphasis on music and audio, greater integration of gaming, continued expansion of the Computer Animation Festival, elevating digital art to the same level as technical research, highlighting the new field of Information Aesthetics and connecting once again with the cultural richness of New Orleans, despite the challenges of the economic downturn. Meanwhile, Ryan Lesser reviews the just-released 3ds Max 2010, and Tara Bennett reports on the DVD release this week of CAPRICA, and Alain Bielik gets the scoop on Friday's release of THE MUTANT CHRONICLES.
