Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Fred Astaire dances with a vacuum, John Wayne orders beer, and Bruce Lee stars in a movie thirty years after his death. It’s all possible through CGI, or computer generated imaging. From "Tron" to "Shrek," join us for a Tech Tuesday discussion of how computer graphics came to be and a surprising look at where CGI is headed.
Guests
- Joel Orr Chief Visionary, Cyon Research Corporation; also founder, Computer Graphics World magazine.
- Ken Perlin Professor, Department of Computer Science, and Director, Media Research Laboratory, New York University.
- Lev Grossman Staff Writer, Time magazine
