Hi apologies for the cross postings that inevitably occur, This is a reminder that registrations for the 2003 Melbourne Digital Arts and Culture (melbourneDAC) conference are closing soon (April 11th). This is the 5th International Digital Arts and Culture conference to be held, and the first to be held outside of North America and Norway. Digital Arts and Culture (DAC) is an international conference series initiated in 1998 by Espen Aarseth, of the University of Bergen. It's intention is to bring together the best new researchers and artists working in the fields of new media, games, and interactive hypermedia to share ideas, problems, and debates. This year's event continues this with an exhibition of digital artworks and four days of conference activities designed to foster debate and dialogue around significant new themes in new media culture and practice.
