positive initiatives, problematic implications

ECOGNITION FOR THE ARTS AND THOSE WHO LABOUR IN THEIR SERVICE IS CERTAINLY TO BE ENCOURAGED AND APPLAUDED. SO ARTS PRACTITIONERS AND ACADEMICS WILL WELCOME BOTH THE RECENTLY ANNOUNCED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT INITIATIVE, ARTSTART, AND THE INCLUSION OF CREATIVE WORKS IN THE 2009 ERA (EXCELLENCE IN RESEARCH FOR AUSTRALIA) DATA COLLECTION TRIAL CURRENTLY UNDERWAY IN AUSTRALIAN UNIVERSITIES. ALTHOUGH THEY ARE TARGETED TOWARDS DIFFERENT COHORTS OF THE CREATIVE ARTS COMMUNITY, BOTH SCHEMES WILL HAVE AN IMPACT ON THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS THAT ARE OFTEN RELIED UPON TO PROVIDE A REFUGE FOR ARTS

The ACM SIGGRAPH Education Index strives to be a comprehensive online interactive database of academic programs that offer computer graphics, digital arts, interactive media and games curricula.
Through a research effort by the ACM SIGGRAPH Educatio

n Committee, over 400 college programs have been identified and entered into the database to form its foundation. But there are many hundreds more that need to be included, and we’re relying on members of the global education community to

make this happen. That probably means

Digital arts is by nature a hybrid practice, integrating t

he poetics, aesthetics and conceptual strategies of art with the logical, systematic methods

of technological processes from engineering and the sciences. This article reviews the development of interdisciplinary, collaborative arts-engineering research and education at the University of California at Santa Barbara, focusing on the Media Arts & Technology graduate program from a visual/spatial arts perspective.

A crisis has emerged in new-media arts education. Despite the widespread emergence of

new-media arts programs and strong student interest throughout North American

universities as well as in Finland, Singapore, Thailand, China, Germany, and Australia,

surprisingly little public debate about the goals, structure,

and topical orientation of these programs is taking place.

Already the hand held has taken ascendancy over the laptop for most young users engaged in buy viagra canada social rituals of exchange and communication. We look to a future in which we wear the computer, and hope for the breakthrough in biochip design, which allows us to carry itself if not directly in the brain. At the leading edge of artistic inquiry our interest is moving from the pixels to particles. It will be moistmedia that is likely to challenge our artistic and design skills and aspirations. In all of this a transdisciplinary approach to arts education is called for. New metaphors, new language, new methodologies will arise. The first requirement in anticipating these changes is to establish a worldwide (meaning all regions, all cultures) research network at the most intensive level of inquiry. The Planetary Collegium is one model that can be considered: art, science and consciousness research become the three co-ordinates across which new knowledge, new experiences and new varieties of human identity will be engendered. Streaming: quicktime open 10 Aug 2002 – 11:00 Topic: Response and Discussion & Floor Discussion Speaker: Dr Charles Green/Paul Thomas Outline: Charles Green, Senior Lecturer, School of Fine Arts, Classical Studies and Archaeology, University of Melbourne. Floor discussion chaired by: Paul Thomas, Director of the Studio of Electronic Arts, School of Art, Curtin University of Technology. Streaming: quicktime open 10 Aug 2002 – 14:20 Topic: A Bit of Digital Spectrum Speaker: Ken Rinaldo and Amy Youngs Outline: Many artists see digital tools as just another tool of expression but working in the digital realm offers unprecedented new ways of visualizing, distributing, controlling and making art. Perhaps for the first time in history we are at a juncture where pure notions of concept and idea can be realized virtually first, before being committed to material. While the benefits of digital tools are exciting they offer both opportunities and challenges, which must be addressed in order to fully understand the implications these tools will have to our visual arts culture. Streaming: quicktime open 10 Aug 2002 – 14:40 Topic: Computer technologies Speaker: Peter Morse Outline: Development of a “digital” research and pedagogical culture within a Creative Arts context requires extensive links to be forged between what might be termed “aesthetic” practitioners and “technical” practitioners. In my view this means coherent links between the arts, computer sciences and information sciences. Research synergies can thereby be established, as well as efficiencies in hardware and software support, programming and content development. The possibilities afforded by digital technologies question the traditional pedagogic domains of the arts and sciences, and new forms of discourse and dialogue need to be established to address these new modes. Similarly researchers in these fields need to be multi-skilled in visualisation and programming, or at least know where to get assistance, in order to realise research projects. I will discuss various examples of these processes occurring at the University of Melbourne. Streaming: quicktime open 10 Aug 2002 – 15:20 Topic: Finding common ground physical and musical gesture Speaker: Lindsay Vickery Outline: Since 1996 the School of Dance at the WA Academy of Performing Arts, Edith Cowan University has been providing the opportunity for its students to work with interactive electronic technologies particularly in the creation of sound/music. The availability of the unit University-wide through the Studio for Research in Performance Technology (SRPT) has had the unexpected effect of drawing students from a wide variety of disciplines into a multi-arts environment. It has also built up a substantial body of research/performance. Finding a common ground between the languages of Dance and Sound is a clear focus for the studio and is central to much of the multi-disciplinary work that takes place there. This paper will discuss some of the issues involved in trying to discover such a nexus. It will also give a summary of research being conducted in this field at Edith Cowan University’s Studio for Research in Performance Technology.

Speaker: Mike Philips Outline: Auto-Creativity V1.5 develops a critical, analytical and deep understanding of the transformative qualities of digital media, which is developed in parallel with, and intrinsically linked to, practical production skills that question traditional media practice and explore new paradigms for a ‘New Media’ practice. Auto-Creativity V1.5 embraces the paradigm shift that defines digital practice and enables the effective use of emergent methods and tools of digital media production. By integrating the theory and practice of digital media production within an On-Line synchronous and asynchronous mind-set Auto-Creativity V1.5.will fully embrace the potential of “being digital”. Auto-Creativity V1.5 offers a Twenty First Century “Vision in Motion” Streaming: quicktime open 11 Aug 2002 – 14:20 Topic: Training, careers, ideas Speaker: Julianne Pierce Outline: How does an emphasis on technical training and vocational skills affect the generation and exploration of ideas. What is the role of an organisation like ANAT in developing models for research and development, both in the acquisition of skills and creative thinking?

This two-day electronic arts education forum will address issues relevant to the current research/innovation agenda in the arts.

It will be based on an open discussion of current pedagogies and future possibilities of spatial practices in the arts. Teaching practices in the new digital domain and the challenges it presents to the arts will be examined in a forum that brings together electronic arts lecturers from various convergent disciplines along with international speakers.

The forum will look at ongoing strategies for future collaborations between institutions within this area. These collaborations will be to define discipline research strategies that will explore the role of the new digital technology in framing research goals within the arts.

Teaching in a Digital Domain Forum for Electronic Arts Research (FEAR) Australian Council of Universities of Art and Design Schools (ACUADS) in collaboration with the Australian National Council of Creative Arts (ANCCA).Electronic media massages our everyday lives and structures our work environments. Simultaneously global and intimate in reach, it is now the organising locus of contemporary practices, ideologies and consciousness. This is why the thematic focus of the inaugural Biennale for Electronic
Arts Perth (BEAP) is LOCUS.
The Biennale, through this forum, will examine the locus of electronic media in art schools, and the resulting nexus between art, science, technology and pedagogy. The forum includes key note and specialist speakers, along with generous opportunities for the open discussion of current pedagogies and future possibilities in the arts.
