Every year the Texas A&M Department of Architecture Vizualization graduate students invite members of the community to view their work at Viza-gogo and learn some of the secrets of computer visualization , animation, and special effects. To start the week, there will be an exhibition containing a wide range of works including paintings, figure drawings, photography, stereoscopic viewers, video works, interactive websites, and even a new way of watching a movie on a projection screen of falling sand. The show finishes with an animation / video screening held in Rudder theatre for two nights. On the two days of the screenings, free, live demonstrations of modeling and animating with Maya, interactive web design, and Japan anime also will be available.

The theme of this year's screening is "Can You Do This?" Interspersed with student animation and video works will be a collection of humorous short films, inspired by this theme, demonstrating the unique culture and abilities of Visualization students. The audience will meet the "campus wizard", the source of humorous superpowers passed from student to student. Additionally, a computer generated emcee will host the program.
