Just what is Surface Imaging, anyway?
As part of a long-standing partnership with DesignPhiladelphia, and The Center for Architecture & Design, the faculty of Jefferson's Surface Imaging Center, and Surface Imaging Research academic program, answered just that question.
To expand public and academic outreach this past semester, the S.I. Program hosted its first official public symposium since 2015, and the first one held outside of Jefferson's East Falls campus, this time at the beautiful Center City headquarters of CFAD.
Aiding in the question of all things S.I. were program partners Clive Roux, CEO, from the Society of Experiential Graphic Design (SEGD), David Siegel, Director of Surface Imaging, at Designtex, Johnny Shell, VP of Print Technology and Training at the Specialty Graphic Imaging Association (SGIA), and Kaijie Chen, S.I. Graduate, and Surface Imaging design professional, among other industry, design, and education luminaries. The reception during the event was generously sponsored by FUJIFILM, Inc., another long-time program partner.
Presenters from Jefferson Surface Imaging included Hitoshi Ujiie, Director, Surface Imaging Program, E.J. Herczyk, Associate Professor, and Mark Mattson, Faculty and Manager for the Center for Excellence in Surface Imaging; the only educational large-format print and technology center and program of its kind in the world.
