Conference Announcement and Call for Papers and Exhibits

EXCHANGE 2000: Research in Art, Media and Design
------------------------------------------------

The third 'Exchange' conference will be held on 2nd and 3rd 
November 2000 at the Watershed Media Centre, Bristol, UK.

Two conferences hosted by the Faculty of Art, Media and 
Design at the University of the West of England, Bristol, 
in October 1998 and February 1999, brought together 
researchers from across the UK and European art and design 
community.  This third event will enable participants to 
explore current debates, learn about funding 
opportunities, report on work in progress and join in 
discussions about the future of research in art, media and 
design.

Presentations are invited for papers, virtual exhibits, and 
posters on work in progress.  Research outcomes, including 
computer graphics, animation and short films, can be also
submitted for the evening screening session.

Contributions are invited on work in progress, particularly 
if they cover current PhD programmes or the work of both 
new and long-standing research centres.  We also welcome 
contributions on the increasing importance of the digital 
'medium' as well as the digital 'tool' in order to include 
discussion of digital resources for research.  All 
contributors are invited to address the relationship of 
theory to practice and their particular methodological 
concerns within art, media and design research.

In conjunction with the Watershed Media Centre there will 
be an opportunity to submit online work, to be shown in the 
Watershed exhibition gallery and on the WWW prior to, and 
during, the conference.  A catalogue of these works will be 
listed in the conference documentation and be part of a 
refereed online conference publication.

As part of the conference, visits will be arranged to other 
cultural centres in Bristol, including @Bristol, Arnolfini 
Gallery, Create Centre, Royal West of England Academy, 
Bristol Museum and Art Gallery and Spike Island.
