by Greg Elmer 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Hi folks, I'd encourage those of you looking for graduate programs (or faculty with strong BA and MA students) to consider the joint Communication and Culture MA and PhD programs at Ryerson and York Universities, in Toronto. One of the program's three streams is "technology in practice" -- it boasts a very strong faculty and excellent grad student support. Deadlines are quickly approaching. http://www.ryerson.ca/gradstudies/comcult/ http://comcult.yorku.ca/ Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. best, Greg Greg Elmer, PhD Bell Globemedia Research Chair Rogers Communications Centre/School of Radio-TV Arts Ryerson University 350 Victoria Street, Toronto, Ontario Canada M5B 2K3 416-979-5282 _______________________________________________ Co-Editor, Space and Culture: An International Journal of Social Spaces http://www.carleton.ca/space/

CFP CIRN 2005
by Tharp, Kevin W. 06 Jan '05

06 Jan '05

Call for Papers CIRN 2005 24-26 August 2005, Cape Town South Africa The Community Informatics Research Network (CIRN) 2005 Conference is open to receive research, policy and praxis based papers around the major theme of 'partnerships'. Conference website http://www.cirn2005.org Community Informatics is principally involved with the social appropriation of ICT for local benefit The practice of community informatics usually involves role players with diverse interests, and many of the benefits are found in the combination of different role players' interests and resources. The main role players in CI are found in civil society, government, business and individuals. CIRN 2005 will highlight the interactions between these sectors in delivering local benefit. Increasing availability of ICT highlights the need for new partnerships between and within civil society, the public sector and business. It moves the agenda beyond simple questions of access, to effective use. This challenges the current roles, responsibilities and activities in civil society, government and business. Experience is demonstrating that neither 'top down' nor 'bottom up' approaches are consistently delivering universal benefit; rather, partnerships are providing significant value propositions in the emerging information economy. Further, whilst the relationships between business and government are quite well understood, the relationships between civil society and business, government and individuals in the emerging information age are still in formative stages. The conference is designed for researchers, policymakers, community leaders, ICT project leaders, government officials and regional community development groups who have interests, skills and experience in the social appropriation of ICT Critical dates: Abstracts and panel proposals 1 February 2005. Notification of acceptance 15 February 2005 Full refereed papers due 15 March 2002, Notification of acceptance 15 May 2005 Final papers due 30 June 2005 Contributions are invited from both developed and developing countries, but within the intended theme of the conference: * Academic papers will be double-blind refereed and published in the conference proceedings. * Papers that are not intended for refereeing are welcome and will be published separately. * Case studies describing ICT related interventions and initiatives within communities are invited. * Posters describing planned work or work in progress are also invited. * Proposals for panels within areas closely related to community informatics are encouraged A PhD colloquium will be conducted and these presentations will be reviewed by a panel of leading CI researchers. Executive Committee * Prof Andy Bytheway (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa) * Dr Peter Day (Brighton University, United Kingdom) * Prof Geoff Erwin (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa) * Prof Mike Gurstein (New Jersey Institute of Technology, USA) * Prof Marlien Herselman, (Tshwane University of Technology, SA) * Prof Don Schauder (Monash University, Australia) * Prof Wal Taylor (Cape Peninsula University of Technology, South Africa) Kevin W.

by Michael Arnold Mages 03 Jan '05

03 Jan '05

Aotearoa - fresh southern summer with The Paul Annears, Susan Ballard, Stella Brennan, Ian Clothier, Adam Hyde, Trudy Lane, Helen Varley Jamieson, and more guests throughout the month. Surely one of the most desirable global destinations, Aotearoa | New Zealand is currently experiencing a renaissance in media arts and culture. 2005 at -empyre- brings you fresh perspectives from net, sound and media artists, theorists, educators, curators and writers, who are working in, or have recently returned to their home islands. Much is bubbling to the surface from deep pools of creativity such as the Aotearoa Digital Arts list; recent and planned festivals include Version, SCANZ and re:mote; and exhibition venues include Artspace, the Physics Room, the Moving Image Centre and [NON] gallery. Join our guests at http://www.subtle.net/empyre to data mine this southern resurgence of new media and online practice. ------------------------------------- The Paul Annears [http://www.xxos.net ] find there are many advantages to being two people. For many years we have successfully amplified our separate brilliances and recently, through the power of the web, have joined with other 'Paul Annears' in a unique franchising arrangement to produce The Concise Model of the Universe. Paul Annear 404 [ http://www.xxos.net ] has always been anthropographic. Because of this, Paul finds it difficult to avoid strong emotions and unpleasant situations. An obsession with people and her ability to identify with a variety of these creatures has brought her here. Susan Ballard [ http://www.physicsroom.org.nz/space/2002/sensible ] is an artist, writer and musician whose interests cover the broad historical field of new media art with a particular emphasis on contemporary digital and time-based installation from Aotearoa/ New Zealand. Her current PhD research explores relationships between noise and materiality in digital installation art. Stella Brennan [ http://www.stella.net.nz ] is an Auckland-based artist, writer and curator. With Sean Cubitt she founded the Aotearoa Digital Arts discussion list in 2003, and has hosted two subsequent ADA meetings. Her artwork is based in video and installation. Stella teaches at the Auckland University of Technology. Ian M Clothier [ http://www.art-themagazine.com/ian ] is a Pacific based artist writer. In 2004 he was selected for ISEA (Estonia), Digitalis: Ethno-techno (Canada) and ReJoyce Festival (Ireland). Editor of art-themagazine.com, he has contributed to rhizome.org, and was an invited speaker to the Ninth International Conference on Thinking. Adam Hyde [http://www.radioqualia.net ] exhibits frequently internationally and recently won a UNESCO Digital Art Award. He is the Digital Artist in Residence at Waikato University, and is currently organising the 're:mote' festival with Honor Harger and NZ artist duo 'Ethermap', formed by Adam Willets and Zita Joyce. Trudy Lane [http://artefact.mi2.hr ] works in online design and publication for the art/museum industries and as an artist collaboratively creating projects which cross-breed participatory art & educational resource. Trudy has recently returned to New Zealand after 12 years living abroad. Helen Varley Jamieson [ http://www.creative-catalyst.com ] is a writer and theatre artist who has been exploring the concept of cyberformance - remote performers creating live performance via the internet - during the last 5 years. She does a lot travelling with this work, but is currently enjoying some time back home in Aotearoa. Helen writes for Rhizome, Furtherfield and other publications. ============================== -empyre- is an arena for the discussion of media arts practice, and regularly invites practicioners, curators and theorists in the media arts field to discuss specific projects, publications, and issues.

However, there are other views that are equally valid. If you read the guidelines you would understand that they are simply that, not regulations. But, like it or not, some regulations, created not by AoIR but by various governments and institutions, do apply. What is legal in one jurisdiction is not always legal in another. What is legal is not always ethical. And what is legal and ethical is not always approved by an IRB. I'm simply pointing out -- as is AoIR in adopting the guidelines -- that this is not a simple, "one size fits all" issue. Much depends on the researcher, the nature of the research, where the institution happens to be located, and the views of the individual IRB. The guidelines are intended to help researchers like Oriana sort it all out. ------ Mark D. Johns, Ph.D. Asst.

Hello. I am looking for some information about a computer software, known as NEGOPY. I am interested in the software. While I could get some instructions from the software website, I don't know how to get the software. I sent a message to the web site but I have not received any responses yet. I am wondering the web site is no longer valid or the software is no longer available to the public. Anyone knows the story, please let me know. Merry Christmas.
