Paperless Post’s series of tech talks continues this month with a talk by Ken Perlin. Ken will be coming to speak about “Early Experiences and Current Influences in Computer Graphics” on Thursday, June 26th at 7pm.

Ken is a professor in the Department of Computer Science at NYU and the Founding Director of its Media Research Lab, as well as the Director of the Games for Learning Institute. He invented Perlin noise and was involved in the development of many early influential computer graphics techniques.

As a System Architect for computer-generated animation at Mathematical Applications Group he worked on the movie Tron and has received an Academy Award for Technical Achievement. We’re thrilled to have him come talk to us about the path he’s taken and connections between the earliest days of computer graphics and today.

If you’d like to attend the talk, please RSVP and make sure to bring a photo ID to check in with building security.
