there will be popcorn and you can bring your own snacks and stuff to the movie,

here’s what Valerie had to say:

Since TRON Legacy is out and so few seem to have seen (or grokked!) Tron the first!   I’m doing a couple screenings with media-literacy intro by moi meme!    The Games group folks who’ve missed Tron 1 or just want to see it again with some others are warmly invited to bring some drinks, snax  (i’ll have popcorn) & come find out why TRON is so freekin’ important to digital/computer arts and game development & realization.   ;-)   18:30 (6:30pm) both Friday the 21st and weds the 26th
Please pass around the poster, made by one my students  Catherine Ma Ai Poirier!! thanks Ramy!!  -Valerie

See the original before you see Legacy Again!!

crunch sessions are 4 hour blocks where people can focus on their homework in a productive environment by having quiet space, other people there to work with, and other people to ask help from in various topics. (it’s also an environment that provides timbits and awesome discussions)

These sessions happen every Saturday from 12:30pm to 4pm on the 11th floor.

here are some pictures from last Saturday’s session after which Sagar showed some demos, played prototypes and talked game development.

So this is where each group will answer their own question. Think about what you’re trying to say with your project–what problem are you solving, what is its reason for being??

This will help us understand each other, but it’s also a good exercise for people who need to get used to explaining their artistic intents when submitting to a show or applying for a grant…
