The development of complex communication spaces, life environments and economic models is an interplay of technical, social, and artistic forces - Mixed Realities of Art, Science and Technology. The design of a Mixed Reality Architecture, which connects processes in virtual space to the social environments and cultural practices of real places, presents challenges to technologists, scientists and artists alike. In such an architecture the basic design elements are networked structures for new forms of collaborative work and knowledge discovery, human-centred interaction and awareness, media spaces and advanced interfaces. At cast01 scientists will present technologies and infrastructures that address these challenges. Artists will present aesthetic concepts of digital culture and new interactive media formats. cast01 is an invitation for a discussion between artistic practices and the forefront of research and development of information technologies. cast01 is organised by netzspannung.org and by the GMD - German National Research Center for Information Technology. It is supported by the German Federal Ministry for Education and Research (bmb+f) and by the European Commission. http://netzspannung.org/cast01 e-mail: cast01@netzspannung.org Monika Fleischmann / Wolfgang Strauss MARS - Exploratory Media Lab GMD - Institute for Media Communication Schloss Birlinghoven D-53754 Sankt Augustin, Germany OBJECTIVES: On September 20-22, 2001 cast01 will present inspiring media art and innovative research projects from the EU Information Society Technologies programme (IST).

Please read it and respond to their questionnaire. Peter Sandmark National Director Independent Film & Video Alliance - -------------------------------- January 31, 2001 Re: WEB DISSEMMINATION PROJECT Dear Colleagues, The Board of Directors of the Canada Council is funding the Media Arts Section to organize a project to consolidate and support the efforts of Canadian media artists, in order to ensure that they have an informed, active presence in Web dissemination. The potential for creation and distribution of media artwork over the Web is enormous but there is a narrow window of opportunity within which to carve a meaningful presence for artists. In the United States, the National Alliance for Media Arts and Culture (Namac) estimates that within three years "audience expectations regarding ... interactive media, and the infrastructure designed to deliver it, will become resistant to alternative structures and experiences." The Media Arts Section is interested in the dissemination of work that was not originally produced for the Web (videotapes and film, audio works) and work that only exists in the Web environment (Web movies, webcasts, work with hypertext links). The project plans to: 1. Study: consolidate information regarding current practices, challenges and opportunities, enrich it with international research and test it with government and private sector partners. 2. Discuss and develop: bring together members of the community and key partners in a working group to develop a work plan. 3. Present a proposal for funding web dissemination projects to the Board of the Canada Council (June 2001) 4. Fund prototypes: subject to additional funding, organizations will be invited to apply for funds to build and test dissemination prototypes. 5. Inform: set up a website to post the research, to invite commentary and feedback from the community and to follow the development of the prototypes. Katherine Watson, an Ottawa-based researcher and producer, has been hired to co-ordinate the project. We have also hired Katarina Soukup of Montréal to undertake the basic research phase of the project. Katherine has prepared the attached set of survey questions that we are asking you to complete and return it me at the Council (...) as soon as possible. If you have questions about the project or the survey, please contact me at 1-800-263-5588, extension 5250 or by e-mail at david.poole@canadacouncil.ca or contact Katherine directly at 613.233.7523, fax 613.233.3069, watson-k@home.com We look forward to working with you on this exciting project and will shape the project to reflect the needs that you identify in the survey. Sincerely, David Poole Head, Media Arts Section - ------------------------------------- ELECTRONIC DISSEMINATION QUESTIONNAIRE For: Canadian and international distributors of: film, video and web-based work.
