CADE 2001, Glasgow, 9-12 April
The Conference Programme for CADE 2001 (Computers in Art and Design
Education) has now been published. The Programme is also available on the
CADE web site, with abstracts of the refereed papers, demonstrations,
exhibitions and workshops - www.cade.ac.uk
CADE 2001's theme is "Digital Creativity - Crossing the Border" and an
excellent response to this theme has come from academics, researchers and
practitioners around the world.
Responses to the theme examine and challenge -
- the use of networks to enable creative collaboration
- the nature of creativity in the digital domain
- the new virtual exhibition environment for art
- the revolution in design
- challenging exclusion and celebrating diversity
- the new information landscapes
- learning and teaching
- the new generations of digital creators
- theory and identity
- digital creativity and science
- virtual learning environments for the visual arts
In addition, papers look at the new paradigms and interdisciplinary
potential of digital creativity for specific disciplines: architecture,
dance, fine art, art history, graphic design, music, printmaking, product
design, textiles.
Keynote speakers at CADE 2001 are Professor Diana Laurillard of the Open
University, a leading authority on learning and the new technologies;
Professor Simon Penny of Carnegie Mellon University, an artist and expert
on art and robotics; and Walter Stewart of SGI, visionary and creator of
the Bell Centre for Creative Communications.
Keynote panels are "From Atelier to VLE" chaired by Fariba Farshad of the
London Institute; and "Education and industry: who's failing whom?" chaired
by Stuart Cosgrove of Channel 4.
CADE 2001 will be opened by Wendy Alexander MSP, Minister for Enterprise
and Lifelong Learning in the Scottish Executive.
The event promises to be an exciting roller-coaster through the new worlds
opened up by digitality in art and design education. I do hope you will be
able to join us for the ride! For the full programme please visit the web
