For those of you interested in computers and technology in the arts,
the Banff Centre School of Fine Arts is embarking on an exciting
new adventure. Opportunities will be available for artists and
technologists to collaborate in a highly creative environonment.
The Inter-Arts department at the school is developing a
Computer Media Laboratory to support the appropriate activities.
This message is being posted to several groups across the net, in hopes
of catching the interest of people from as many related disciplines as
possible. The variety of equipment we will be using, the scope of the
sociological and philosophical issues we will be covering, and the
general diversity of activities we will be performing make it difficult
to nail down exactly who will and who will not be interested.
It is hoped that manufacturers, developers, and other research environments
will become involved with our lab.
For those who have become even slightly intrigued, there is a longer
and more complete letter posted to the following groups:
comp.graphics
comp.misc
rec.music.makers
rec.music.synth
comp.edu
Please contact me if you know of any other networks or bulletin boards
where you think it would be appropriate to post this letter. Any arts
related boards and forums you are aware of would be prime recipients.
For more information about the Computer Media Lab, please contact
the Inter-Arts Department at The Banff Centre. I will also be at
SIGGRAPH in Anahiem this summer, and at the International Computer
Music Conference at the University of Illinois. Anybody who wants
to discuss opportunities, rant on about philosophical issues, or
provide suggestions of any sort should feel free to contact me either
at these conferences or at the following address.
Thank you,
