RE: [Air-l] digital media in academia
by Matthew Allen 05 Aug '04

05 Aug '04

I agree entirely that digital media isn't necessarily (or mainly) Internet research/studies and, yes, pretty much everything in our film and television department is digital now. I suspect the term 'digital media' is a bit like 'new media' - relevant only in terms of marking out a transition in human affairs that is worthy of special attention; and, probably, Internet research is another, quite like it. As a side note, 'new media' has become political all of a sudden in Australia through the way the US-Australia free trade agreement is drafted. In deference to the US, Australia has basically given away local content control/support over anything other than what it does already, via the phrase 'new media' (poorly defined). What do people think are the key constitutive elements that might provide some substance to the adjectives digital or new when linked to 'media' - is it, perhaps, interactivity?

I know that this is an internet researchers list . . . but I suspect that few in COM/Mass media departments in America would even think about internet studies as being at the center of digital media, let alone constrain digital media to internet orientations. There are a few of us in programs targeted toward new media/multimedia . . . but again, we are a very small number at the undergraduate level.

Hi Caroline We are already holding most of the capacity through the university accomodation, and because of this we unfortunately can't offer attractive numbers to a hotel as well. Apologies that we can't be more flexible with this. All the best Kate /// Any chance of arranging a conference rate for this hotel? /Caroline ------- Caroline Haythornthwaite Graduate School of Library and Information Science University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

FW: The Dream Sequence
by Matthew Allen 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Feel free to distribute more widely The Dream Sequence website has now gone live. The Dream Sequence is a unique, interactive digital film project, produced and directed by Christopher Kenworthy. We harvest dreams from around the world, choose one, and turn it into a digital film. The film will be screened on this web site in late August 2004, and used to stimulate further dreams through a technique known as 'incubation'. We will again gather the resulting dreams and make one into a film. This continues over ten weeks, until we have a five-part dream sequence authored entirely by sleeping people. www.thedreamsequence.com Please forward this e-mail to interested parties. Produced in Association with the Australian Film Commission

FW: Network Media Symposium September 2004 (Mark Poster)
by Matthew Allen 03 Aug '04

03 Aug '04

Network Media: Code, Culture and Convention A cross-disciplinary symposium at the University of Western Australia 9-10-11 September 2004 How can we make sense of the rapid development of such intersecting and yet diverse technological features as digital and satellite television; the Internet; mobile telephony; computer games; global media empires; the database; instant communication; and digital creativity? We propose that the array of information and communications technologies, practices and concepts can be approached under the broad heading of Network Media because, in doing so, we become aware of the tensions and possibilities inherent in juxtaposing the established realm of 'the media'; and the emerging world of 'the network'. Network Media is convergence for the twenty-first century. It recognizes that the old and the new are coming together, but suggests a more subtle, more nuanced appreciation of the changes and continuities that attend the dramatic interpellation into everyday life of computing and communication technologies, and the discourses which make them meaningful. Not only does 'the network' (pragmatically, the Internet but, in a more analytical frame, decentred interactivity and virtual-world mediation) now come to operate with, and through, and as if it was 'the media'; but 'the media' (paradigmatically centralized and institutionalized) now exhibits many signs that it is, itself, an interactive network. But Network Media does not imply any necessary 'coming together' - each term stands in partial opposition to the other, even as they are joined in the title of this symposium. Network Media poses new questions about the interrelationship of explicit governing codes (both legal and "software codes"); implicit regulatory conventions through which people operate collectively; and the expressive practices through which cultural meanings emerge. Code, Culture and Convention provide just three openings through which we might begin to explore Network Media. We invite you, in this symposium, to introduce new ways of thinking about the conflict and intersection of the paradigms of 'network' and 'media'. Participants: Professor Mark Poster, University of California, Irvine Associate Professor Matthew Allen, Curtin University Professor Mark Armstrong, Law, RMIT Dr Terry Flew, Queensland University of Technology Professor Ross Gibson, University of Technology, Sydney Dr Marjorie Kibby, University of Newcastle Ms Carolyn Penfold, Media Law, University of NSW Professor Trevor Barr, Swinburne Institute of Technology Abstracts and registration form available at: http://www.ias.uwa.edu.au/activities_and_programs/other_activities_and_event s/network_media_code,_culture_and_convention <http://www.ias.uwa.edu.au/activities_and_programs/other_activities_and_even ts/network_media_code,_culture_and_convention> Terri-ann White Associate Professor Director, Institute of Advanced Studies University of Western Australia 35 Stirling Highway Nedlands 6009 Western Australia Telephone: +61 8 6488 2114 Fax: +61 8 6488 1711 tawhite(a)cyllene.uwa.edu.au http://www.ias.uwa.edu.au/ <http://www.ias.uwa.edu.au/> Please note the new telephone and fax prefixes

Defunct web sites/sources

I would like to know what to do about using statistics from a website that no longer exists. Presumably the source, a formerly respectable one, no longer exists. I am referring to Matrix Information and Directory Services (MIDS). Betty Hanson
