Academy of Art University students triumphed at the SIGGRAPH 2007 Space-Time Student Competition & Exhibition. Out of a record number of entries, Kyle Yugawa won first place for his project Verve, while Molly Quan took home one of the four Honorable Mentions for her project Hidden Symbols in Chinese Life and Thought, both in the interactive division. This is the fourth year in a row that an Academy of Art University Graduate New Media student has taken a first place title at the Space-Time Competition.
Verve, Kyle's MFA thesis, is a web tool that lets artists and musicians compose, orchestrate, and illustrate using sound, shape, and motion. According to the Verve website, the project "strives to mold techniques of painting/illustration, music, and kinetic performance into a single fluid process."
Space-Time is an internationally juried competition for students within SIGGRAPH 2007, a conference and exhibition on computer graphics. The competition showcases the state of artistic computer-based student work in the categories of print, animation, and interactive works. The work of Academy students Brad Watkins, Jin Yeong Kim, Ivan Kandi, Sungmook Kang will also be shown in the exhibition.
