# SIGBOVIK
SIGBOVIK ([special interest group](sig.md) on Harry Q. Bovik) is a [computer science conference](compsci.md) running since 2007 that focuses on researching and presenting [fun](fun.md) ideas in fun ways, scientifically but in a lighthearted [hacker](hacking.md) spirit similar to e.g. [esoteric programming languages](esolang.md) research or the [IOCCC](ioccc.md). SIGBOVIK has their own proceedings just like other scientific conferences, the contributors are usually professional researchers and experts in computer science. The name seems to be a reference to the "serious" conferences such as [SIGGRAPH](siggraph.md) (SIGBOVIK is organized by the *Association for Computational Heresy* while SIGGRAPH is run by *Asscoiation for Computing Machinery*).

A famous contributor to the conference is e.g. Tom7, a [PhD](phd.md) who makes absolutely lovely [youtube](youtube.md) videos about his fun research (e.g. this one is excellent https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpXy041BIlA).
