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 closed on April 11th. Quite a few people have been in touch about extending the registration date, while they await the outcome of funding applications and the like. We are more than happy to accommodate these problems, so if you wish to still register please get in touch! 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.
