At 5:30 p.m. ewill be live visual demonstrations of soft ie and at 7 p.m. film screenings will begin in der Theater. All presentations are new work completed during this past academic year. “It’s going to be the same show both nights,” said Tina Messinger, public relations director for Viz Lab and a visualization graduate student. “We’re hoping people will consider [going] one night or the other. People need to show up ear ly because the theater gets packed quick.” Viza-Go-Go has a history of overcrowding Rudder Theater, and Messinger said the addi tion of another night of programs should allevi ate the burden of overcrowding and allow peo ple to enjoy the program comfortably. “If we outgrow the theater this year, we’ll try to move to the auditorium next year,” Messinger said. The theme of this year’s show takes its roots from educational and propagan da films of the ’50s. “We wanted to have the 1950s scientific feel ing to it, with the laboratory coats and every thing,” Messinger said. “During that time, com munism was made out to be this ‘invisible threat’ and we tried to re-create that because many peo ple at A&M don’t know what we do. We played oft'of that in a way that we’re the scientists pro tecting A&M from an unknown threat. “We’ve taken a lot of stock footage from old educational programs, like the atomic bomb, ‘duck-and-cover’ films. One of the students here collects old footage like this. He has nine volumes of the [movie] intermission [film] Let's Go Out to the Lobby-ty^e of tapes from ’50s movie theaters.” The student-run event will have a virtual host again this year. However, this year’s virtu al host may garner points for originality from its audience — the host will be the disembod ied head of a scientist in a bell jar. While the visual presentation will only show twice, the exhibits on display at Rudder Tower not only show projects, but how they are pro duced from storyboards to wire frame to fin- [ax out the Valitf f your Diploma! and take a Vacation on l your hard earned dipl« : e your job and your i :!
