Attending “Exploring AI in VFX,” sponsored by the New York section of the Visual Effects Society. (The walk-in music is Starship’s “We Built This City.” Do they know I’ve just arrived from the Left Coast?)

Attending #LPS25 in Vienna. It feels somewhat insulting to subject 6,000+ attendees to an AI-generated “welcome” in an opening plenary. Like, you wouldn’t take the time to shoot a video but you’re going to have your AI clone take up our collective time? Am I being a curmudgeon?

From @aaas.org: “We can’t let passive things happen, like the idea that we’re not going to obligate funds that you already appropriated, destroy something that we’ve built over 80 years. Because if we allow it to break, we can’t just put it back together again next year.”

For the next several months, I’ll be at the amazing Visualization Center C in Norrköping, Sweden! I have a chance to work with the talented team here on some exciting visualization projects, including those that touch on climate and the environment.

Last week, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Shanghai Astronomy Museum and speak at their symposium on the future of planetariums! The scale of projects in China boggles the mind…

Now that everyone is starting to show up here, I guess I should post something. What better than a photo of Nigel helping me organize my office?
