We are excited to keep this interdisciplinary conversation going at #SIGGRAPH2026. See you there!
We'll discuss drawing from multiple angles:
🧠 Cognitive: how drawing supports thinking
👁️ Perception: how we see & simplify visually
✏️ Sketching as input: guiding generative AI
🤖 Co-creation: drawing with machines
We hope to spark interdisciplinary dialogue & collaboration!
We're featuring an incredible interdisciplinary lineup, encompassing psychology, HCI, computer graphics, and comics theory💫
(I'm personally very excited about having them all in the same room! Their work has been fundamental in shaping my own research :)
Big thanks as well to the organizers and participants of the COGGRAPH workshop at CogSci '24 👉 coggraph.github.io for laying the groundwork.
We are excited to keep the interdisciplinary conversation going at #SIGGRAPH2025 and connect more communities!
I'm very excited to announce our #SIGGRAPH2025 workshop:
Drawing & Sketching: Art, Psychology, and Computer Graphics 🎨🧠🫖
🔗 lines-and-minds.github.io
📅 Sunday, August 10th
Join us to explore how people draw, how machines draw, and how the two might draw together! 🤖✍️
From cave paintings to subway maps to emojis, humans have always found ways to distill the visual world into lines, shapes, and symbols. ✏️
Why do we abstract? What makes some simplifications work better than others? And how might abstraction shape human-AI collaboration?
Here we GROW again! Introducing your #ICCV2025 Publicity Co-Chairs @natanielruiz.bsky.social @antoninofurnari.bsky.social @yaelvinker.bsky.social @csprofkgd.bsky.social
