ABOUT THE COVER The Frustrations and Joys of Computer Graphics Hans Westman Computer Graphics Cover Editor The one place where the minds of science and art can meet is computer graphics. Both have a need to express themselves seemingly through different means but for a common goal to figure it out. And what is it ? Therein lies the frustration, because no one really knows. Yet, from the depths of their unknown, they persist in exploring, systematically and intuitively, the imagery of zeros and ones that will explain. The joy is in sharing those findings with others, which is the tradition of the ACM SIGGRAPH conference every year. The images used for the cover of this Computer Graphics issue help illustrate the opposite poles of the spectrum Associate Professor Bahman Kalantari representing the scientist and Michael Masucci the artist expressing the frenzy of process while figuring it out. There is so much to see when wandering the floors of the conference that it is impossible to take in everything. Hopefully, this taste of visual treats from last year will encourage everyone to again make the rounds this summer to enjoy the festival of computer graphics that annually revitalizes our passion and enthusiasm for the digital technology of picture making.

He discovered animation as an art form in the late 70s, which resulted in an experimental film entitled Unitism. In 1987 he was exposed to computer manipulated imagery and has been working professionally with the medium ever since. He is currently the Academic Department Director for Media Arts & Animation at The Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
