From the submitted proposal, I'm not surprised that the entry was rejected.
I fail to see anything about the proposed exhibit that either demonstrates
or advances the state of the art of computer graphics (which is the purpose
of SIGGRAPH).  Rather, it looks like a very thinly-disguised political statement
about psychedelic drugs.  If the molecular modeling on the poster embodied
innovative technology in the area of 3-D graphics, perhaps you should have
concentrated on that in your proposal and left out the bits about Xochipilli
and psychedelic drugs, neither of which are of any interest to the SIGGRAPH
audience.
