Call for participation: UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005
by Jeremy Hunsinger 15 Aug '05

15 Aug '05

Call for participation: UNESCO Digital Arts Award 2005 Young artists from around the world are invited to take part in this year’s award devoted to the theme of “Cities and creative media”. Organized in collaboration with Art Center Nabi, the Award would be delivered to non-realized project proposals in order to embrace a wider audience of creators, who have the innovative artistic ideas but not necessarily the means. The call specifically aims at encouraging young emerging artists to cultivate new forms of expressions using new media and technology in reflecting on how urban spaces and city environments could be transformed into creative outlets. The submission deadline is 14 September 2005. All project proposals should be submitted online at the official website of submission (http://www.nabi.or.kr/unesco_award) where participants will also be able to find further detailed information (description of sub-themes, general guidelines, submission criteria, etc). All submissions should be in English. The total prize money is US $10,000, which would be divided into and given to more than one laureate, in some cases a group of artists. In addition, the Nabi center (Seoul, Republic of Korea) is organizing a “special honorary mention” category to the Award, targeting realized projects that could be re-embodied within the urban context of the city Seoul. The award-winning projects would be selected by an international jury, assembled on this occasion representing the five geo-cultural regions (Africa, Arab States, Asia/Pacific, Europe/North America, and Latin America/Caribbean).

Citation Style Query (Threaded Discussion Groups)
by Andrew Herman 11 Aug '05

11 Aug '05

Friends- I am currently putting the finishing touches on a journal manuscript and need to know the "correct" style for citing on-line discussion group posts. This is terra incognita for the editors and I suspect I can be creative in this regard. However, I would appreciate it if anyone out there in AOIR land has any experience with this issue, both in terms of bibliography as well as in text citation and quotes. Thanks, Andrew Herman Andrew Herman, Ph. D. Associate Professor Department of Communication Studies Wilfrid Laurier University Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3C5 CANADA 519 884-1970 x3693

Oxford conference 8-10 September 2005
by Vicki Nash 09 Aug '05

09 Aug '05

Dear Colleague, I would like to draw your attention to an important conference on Internet safety and security to be held in Oxford on 8-10 September. Against the backdrop of increasing and often sensational media coverage about the potential abuse of the Internet by spammers, hackers, paedophiles and terrorists, the conference will examine whether and how such fears are changing the complex and delicate balance of values and interests at stake in the Internet's global network of networks. The conference will draw on the experience and evidence of distinguished researchers, policy-makers, business leaders and practitioners to foster considered discussion and analysis in the context of current live issues such as child protection, network security and individual privacy. Its prime aim is to help inform decision-making by all relevant stakeholders with a better understanding of the societal implications of the choices being made. Key speakers include Howard A. Schmidt (Former Special Adviser for Cyberspace Security to the White House), Prof. Sonia Livingstone (Dept. of Media & Communications, London School of Economics), John Carr, Peter Coroneos (Chief Executive, Internet Industry Association, Australia) and Jonathan Zittrain (Professor of Internet Regulation and Governance, OII). Called 'Safety and Security in a Networked World: Balancing Cyber-rights and Responsibilities', the conference's website ( <http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/cybersafety> www.oii.ox.ac.uk/cybersafety) has details of invited speakers, the programme and how to register. It is organised by the Oxford Internet Institute in close collaboration with international partners, including the University of Auckland, the Watson Institute for International Studies at Brown University, the European Information Society Group (EURIM) and NetSafe. If you have any questions about this event, please e-mail the conference team at <mailto:cybersafety@oii.ox.ac.uk> cybersafety(a)oii.ox.ac.uk . best Dr Victoria Nash Policy and Research Officer Oxford Internet Institute University of Oxford www.oii.ox.ac.uk <http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/>
